3 The Right Way to Best Harvest Coconuts

The Right Way to Harvest CoconutsHarvesting is one of the routine activities in the management of oil palm plantations, it’s just that if the harvest is done carelessly it will not get maximum results, profits can soar.

because in harvesting oil palm, several activities need to be carried out before the oil palm fruit is ready to be harvested, one of which is the level of maturity of the oil palm fruit, in addition to how to harvest it. Fully harvest all ripe fruit, because when the fruit is ripe the oil content reaches its maximum

Harvest Coconuts

Here Are Ways to Harvest Coconuts in Order to Get Maximum Production Results.

Crop rotation is: the time it takes between the first harvest and the next harvest coconuts at the same random location/harvest coconuts. Crop rotation is related to harvest coconuts density or the number of stems that can be harvested in a certain number of trees/area.

Rotation/rotation of fruit cuttings is one of the most decisive aspects or factors in the field to obtain high production per hectare and low cost per kilogram and low FFA. The rotation/rotation of the fruit slices also affects the transportation and processing in the factory.

Crop rotation is considered good if it can be maintained for 7 (seven) days, so that the percentage of loose fruit to fruit bunches is at least 6%. This is done so that the quantity and quality of production can be achieved.

One harvest coconuts area/session should be entered by the harvester every 7 days. In general, each harvester’s working day is from Monday to Saturday. The number of working hours each day is 7 working hours, except for Fridays only 5 working hours.

Harvesting is carried out continuously throughout the year. Rotating too long will cause the fruit to overripe and cause the oil to have a high ALB content. A rotation that is too short (<7 days) will result in inefficient harvesting activities because unripe fruit and a lot of immature fruit will be harvested. Therefore, in the fast ripe fruit season (peak harvest coconuts) the cycle should be shortened, on the contrary in the slow ripe fruit season (low harvest) the cycle should be extended.

To avoid delays in the rounds in the months of long holidays (eg holidays), the round of cutting fruit can be accelerated to 5 -6 days. So that after a long holiday, the round of cutting fruit in one block can still be maintained under 10 days.

In order to maintain normal fruit rotation, it is very important to continuously monitor the list of fruit cutting circles in the afdeling and be provided with information: ripe fruit density or percentage of harvest coconuts in blocks, number of fruit cutting workers, wholesale base and percentage ready for harvest. wholesale, rainfall, average plant age.

Random Harvesting System

Random harvesting is the area that the harvester is responsible for. The random harvesting system depends on the topography of the land and the availability of labor.

The harvesting system consists of three types, namely: Fixed Ancak, Sleigh Ancak, and Fixed Ancak Per Foreman.

Harvest Coconuts

a. Keep random

Fixed randomness is that each harvester is given the same randomness of harvest for each rotation/replacement of crops with a certain area and must be completed on a certain day. Harvesters do not graze and do not see fruit density.

The advantage of a fixed random system is that each harvester is responsible for a random harvest and it is easy to control its quality. The weakness of the fixed random system is that the fruit arrives late at the TPH, because the fruit does not come together in one stretch but is found in many roads and places.

b. sled

Ancak herding is that each harvester is given a random herding per one/two rows of crops and herded together. The division of the area can be changed according to the density conditions

The advantage of the dribble system is that harvesting is faster and the fruit reaches the TPH quickly, while the weakness of the dribble system is that each harvester is always looking for fruit that is easy to harvest coconuts and random quality control is more difficult. .

c. Random dribbling set per foreman

It is a combination of fixed random and sleigh random. The foreman is left alone, while the harvesters at the foreman can be herded according to the harvest density in each block.

The advantage is that fruit distribution is still relatively clustered, so transportation is more efficient. Besides that, it can prevent jealousy between harvesters, because random can be swapped/played from one round to the next. The drawback is that the harvester’s responsibility for randomness is relatively low, and violations are still somewhat difficult to detect, due to random number changes, so supervisory oversight should be more stringent.

The random system used must be in accordance with field conditions.

Harvesting Standards – Oil palm harvesting standards include establishing fruit bunches that can be harvested consistently. Harvesting must follow predetermined criteria so that
