Turkey is the leading country in the world, accounting for approximately 70% of global hazelnut production. However, converting production into value is directly related not only to the hazelnuts on the tree, but also to how and how efficiently they are harvested. That is why the hazelnut harvesting process and the equipment used are among the most critical factors determining the farmer’s income.
1.The Importance of Harvesting Hazelnuts
Harvesting hazelnuts at the right time and in the right way directly affects product quality and market value. Late harvesting can lead to:
- Mould,
- Aflatoxin formation,
- And low yield.
Additionally, leaving hazelnuts under the tree leads to product loss and makes the harvesting process more laborious. Traditional harvesting methods that rely on labour require significant time and cost. Therefore, timely, regular, and clean harvesting translates to high quality and income in both domestic and international markets.
2.The Importance of the Hazelnut Harvesting Machine
The traditional method of harvesting hazelnuts, which used to take weeks, can now be completed in just a few days. This is because hazelnut harvesting machines have become an indispensable part of modern agriculture.
2.1 Why a hazelnut harvesting machine?
- Reduces Labour Costs: Significant savings are achieved with machines that can do the work of 15–35 workers per day on their own.
- Shortens Harvesting Time: The product is brought to market earlier without waiting in the field.
- Improves Product Quality: Separates leaves and soil, and the nuts go directly into the bag clean.
- Quick Return on Investment: Pays for itself in 2–3 seasons.
- Increases Yield: Reduces product loss and allows more area to be harvested in a shorter time..
