Most small farm machinery usually drop their loads on the ground at the collection point and later the fresh fruit bunch (FFB) will be manually transferred into the bin. Currently, manual FFB loading involves picking up bunches with an iron spike and dropping them into a 1-1.5 m height bin (Figure 1). Multiple handlings will increase the overall time taken and lower the FFB quality.
