Harvest time



It has been 115 days since I began to induce my mango tree to bear flowers. Today is the right time to harvest my produce and deliver it to the mango buyers. Early this morning we went to the farm to harvest our produce. I already contacted the buyers ahead of time so that they will also be prepared for today's activity. The buyer (Angie's fruit) were the one doing the selection. They have a lot of laborers who will do the classification from Quality mango, hongkong classification, QS Quality size mango, the local mango and the dried mango. The prices are 30 pesos for the quality mango and the Hongkong, 28 for the Local and 20 for the dried.

They were so strick regarding the classification for export quality and even though they have the price for the dried mango at 20 , they did not include it in their selection that is why we delivered all the dried classification to the other company who are buying dried mangoes. We delivered it to Toril mango buyers. I am so tired because I kept on driving the van to deliver the farms produce. During the classification, I segregated all the oversize mangoes for private consumption. They weighed more that 500 grams per fruit. The picture above will show you how the classifiers pack their quality mangoes into the box.
