Oil Palm Farming Without Tears, How improved harvesting
In Ubulu-Uku and many parts of Nigeria where people engage in oil palm production, they use climbers prune palm fronds and harvest palm fruits. The women had never seen the technology before. The way the harvester was pruning the palm fronds in seconds amazed them. The same machine can be used for harvesting palm fruits as well.
All through 2017, these support market actors catalyzed by PIND organized series of workshops, demonstrations and seminars across the Niger Delta to promote the Mechanical Adjustable Harvester (MAH) and Malaysian Knife (MK) for more efficient harvesting of palm fruits; and the use of small scale processing equipment (SSPE) for increased efficiency in processing palm oil to farmers which led to
Mechanical Adjustable Harvester: Making Oil Palm Fruits
What can be done to mitigate oil palm wastage? Employing the use of the Mechanical Adjustable harvester is a viable option. The Mechanical Adjustable Harvester is an innovative technology that is designed to increase harvest efficiency. It functions by cutting down the palm oil fruit bunch at the nape of the tree. The machine removes the need
Efficient technologies seek to increase and enhance the efficiency and profitability of Palm Oil Farmers in the Niger Delta region. In line with improving technology, improving access to resources and facilitating system change in the palm oil sector, PIND facilitated the introduction and promotion of the Adjustable Palm Fruit Harvester, the Small-Scale Processing Equipment (SSPE), and the
Red gold: the rise and fall of West Africa’s palm oil empire
The rise in oil palm brokers. West African producers successfully responded to growing European palm oil demand through the modification and expansion of existing small-scale production methods
A typical palm fruit harvester can work through an oil palm plantation and harvest 80 – 100 bunches per day depending on height, terrain, season, and how well the palms are pruned. The current tool of the trade for palm fruit harvesters is either a cutlass with a climbing rope or a sickle attached to the end of a long adjustable pole.
HARVi, IRGA
A fully connected, electrical mechanised harvesting cutter. HARVi is the future of palm oil harvesting. Battery powered for zero emissions, the HARVi enables precision harvesting with its mechanised vibrating sickle. The HARVi is also a digitally connected harvesting tool, and will feature FFB bunch counting and GPS capabilities upon completion.
The MAH is viewed as a revolutionizing tool to the oil palm fruit harvesting business. It has a 1.2 Hp, two-stroke petrol engine, with an extension pole that can reach palm trees up to 20 feet. The biggest advantage of the MAH is that palm fruit harvesters can harvest between 100 – 150 fruit bunches per day using less than 1 liter of petrol…”
Improving harvesting operations in an oil palm plantation
Oil palm agricultural systems involve large extensions of land that demand careful planning of the harvesting operations. The plantation manager is in charge of synchronizing resources (i.e., crews and a complex cableway network) to harvest at the right time to maximize palm oil yield in latter stages of the value chain. In particular, in this type of crop it is ideal to visit each palm every
As depicted in Figure 7, through a research collaboration between MPOB-UPM and a local engineering firm, a wheel-type harvesting machine for oil palm was develop in 2004 [34]. It is a 4-wheel
