Costa Rica is the largest exporter of fresh pineapple in the world, with more than half of its production located in the border region with Nicaragua. Based on ethnographic research carried out in two Costa Rican communities located near the border, this articles presents two main arguments: (1) that the border, and the way in which it produces a vulnerable and exploitable labor force, has been crucial for Costa Rica’s rise as the largest fresh pineapple exporter in the world; (2) that the lens of social reproduction provides us with an important perspective from which to think about the limits, both political and geographical, of the plantation.
