Mechanical Harvesting of Fruit
Mechanical Harvesting of Fruit Mechanical Harvesting of Fruit
Robotic harvesting systems - None is being used commercially at present - In the past – work in the U.S., France, Spain, Italy, Hungary, Israel & Japan - Present R&D work continues in Japan. - Work has also commenced in Holland and Australia & a renewed work in the U.S.
In spite of the tremendous R&D work in more than 60 years of research, a commercial use of harvest machinery has been only partially implemented and is not viable yet, for fresh fruit crops Is it really a no-win situation?
