Easer Harvesting

摘要

Plummeting lettuce prices mean that the number of growers continues to dwindle as many opt in favour of a more profitable crop. Those growers that remain in the business are forced to consider new techniques to not only improve production levels but also quality. What's more, labour costs and ways to reduce them are of crucial importance. One of the biggest labour costs for any grower of leafy vegetable crops, such as lettuce, is the harvesting process. Not surprisingly, it is this aspect where a number of engineering companies are looking to not only speed up and simplify the operation, but also improve the cleanliness of the harvested crop.
