Efficient harvesting of fresh fruits bunches (FFB) plays a vital role towards improving the quality of harvested FFB. Harvesting of short palms (<3-metres in height) is a relatively simple operation. 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 require 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.
