Harvesting

Picking at the right time for quality and price.

  1. Know the stage your buyers want for each crop.
  2. Harvest in the cool morning with clean tools and containers.
  3. Handle produce gently to avoid bruising.
  4. Harvest regularly for crops that fruit over time.
  5. Keep harvested produce in the shade straight away.

Verify locally: figures, varieties and product choices differ by altitude, season and variety. Confirm with your county agricultural extension officer or KALRO before acting.
