Efficient harvesting of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) plays a vital role towards improving the quality of harvested FFB. Harvesting of short palms (>3-metres in height) is relatively simple operation. A chisel attached to a short steel pole is normalyy used. However, harvesting of tall palms (>3-metres in height) requires a different method and technique. A sickle attached to a long pole is normally used. Three activities have to be carried out: lifting the pole upright, cutting fronds and fruit bunches. These activities require high skill and energy. A person who does these jobs should have a good skill in handling the tool and enough energy to carry out the cutting operation.
