Design and evaluation of interrow carries for pineapple
The book discusses the challenges faced in mechanizing pineapple production on peat soil due to obstacles like wood and low load-bearing capacity. Previous mechanization efforts were unsuccessful, compounded by labor shortages in the industry, leading to high production costs and poor fruit quality....

| 520 | # | # | |a The book discusses the challenges faced in mechanizing pineapple production on peat soil due to obstacles like wood and low load-bearing capacity. Previous mechanization efforts were unsuccessful, compounded by labor shortages in the industry, leading to high production costs and poor fruit quality. This resulted in pressure on canneries to increase fruit prices, making them less competitive internationally and reducing demand. Hand harvesting, which accounts for a significant portion of production costs, involves cutting stalks and trimming fruit before loading into baskets. To address labor shortages and reduce costs, three motorized interrow carriers were designed to assist in fruit collection, aiming to alleviate labor burdens, lower costs, and enable women to participate in harvesting. |
