    Although the main pineapple plant only fruits once, it sends out small suckers that grow into their own plants. These suckers, called ratoons, form around the main plant while it is flowering and fruiting. The main plant slowly begins to die after fruiting, but any large suckers can continue growing successfully and will eventually produce new fruit. Outdoors it is possible to leave the suckers attached and allow them to fruit naturally.

    Pineapple plants grow best in soil that remains moist but doesn’t become soggy or waterlogged, because overly wet soil results in root rot. The ratoon pineapple suckers usually begin flowering within a year of transplanting when provided with proper care.

    So, to answer your question very simple, each pineapple sucker produce fruit once in a year and once in a life time. Then they give way for new suckers to produce another year.
