The "Preparing for Harvest" slides emphasises the significance of selective harvesting to ensure fruit quality and maximise market value. Selective harvesting allows farmers to pick only fully mature fruit, reducing waste and improving yield. The slide covers key maturity indicators that signal when the fruit is ready for harvest, such as color, size, and firmness. Additionally, it provides guidance on how to manage and implement a selective harvest effectively, detailing the necessary steps for organising labour, timing the harvest and handling the harvested produce to maintain quality from field to market.
