Fruit picking

Some farms market "You-Pick" for orchards, such as the tradition of Apple and Orange picking in North America, as a form of value-add agritourism.

Many have petting zoos, restaurants and country shops that sell related products such as home-made jams and jellies.

But before performing any measurement, the first step is to know how to collect a representative fruit sample from the orchard block.

This benefit does not apply to all parts of Australia - one must undertake work in selected post-code areas to become eligible for the extra year.

[6] As labor costs are still quite expensive in fruit picking, robots are being designed that can replace humans for this kind of works.

[7][8] The research is still in full progress, especially as the robots need to be carefully designed so that they do not bruise the fruit while picking.
