Descripción

Due to inaccurate methods of harvesting, farmers tend to deteriorate the quality of mangoes and obtain reduced yields of the fruit resulting in a loss of income of the farmers. Through selective harvesting techniques, mangoes are harvested in three stages from the trees based on their maturity level. Also, proper picking poles are used to harvest the mangoes in order to avoid dropping them on the ground causing subsequent damage. This technique explains how to harvest mangoes properly and how the mango harvest can be planned in order to reduce post-harvest losses.
