People work in a pineapple field in Soyo, Benin on September 29, 2017. From his chair in the middle of a pile of pineapples, Jean- Xavier Satola supervises cutting and packaging, as Benin – Africa' s fourth- biggest exporter of the fruit – starts trading again after an eight- month self- imposed absence. Last December, Benin' s government banned exports of the fruit after repeated warnings from the European Union about pineapples treated with the pesticide ethephon. (Photo by Yanick Folly/AFP Photo)
