Mechanical Harvesting of Fruit Mechanical Harvesting of Fruit
Moreover! � Many of the growers (regardless of the country) are not well informed of what is being done to mechanize fruit harvesting outside their perimeter – both domestically and internationally! � There is not enough awareness with regard to the need to adapt the orchard characteristics – size, shape, tree spacing, in a comprehensive system approach to optimize the harvesting 20
