Pineapples is a tropical fruit from East Area of South America. Its scientific name is Ananas Comosus. This tropical fruit were planted in peat soil and its quality different because of a few factors such as climate, cultivation technique, harvesting time, storage, and the transportations facilities (Hossain MF, 2016). Moreover, pineapples also needed a good management in post-harvest handling to maintain and improve its quality. Highest quality of the Pineapples can give a satisfaction to the consumers during purchased it. Purposed of this study is to identify the risk in the postharvest handling of pineapples crops which can influenced the pineapples quality. This study was involved 70 farmers that located at Kluang and Muar, Johor. During this study, a set of questionnaires were distributed to the respondents. Then, interpret and analysis the data by using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) by involving data analysis which are descriptive data and regression analysis. The results shown that common risk happened because of skill workers, packaging, mechanical damage and transportations. The most dominant risk is skills workers which influences the pineapples quality with the Beta value is 0.327, followed by transportations which is 0.267. As a conclusion, all of the variables in independent variables can be the risk that can affect and reduced the pineapples quality during the post-harvest handling and activities.
