The study demonstrates the importance of skilled pole harvester (PH). Skill in pole harvesting ultimately reduces the human drudgery, time and cost involved in rope and cutlass harvest (RCH) while harvesting oil palm fresh fruit bunches (FFBs). Comparative cumulative harvesting activities in FFB harvest apparently showed that average number of strokes for frond(s) and FFB harvest by skilled PH (8.6) were less than unskilled PH (22.0). The slashing time required to harvest FFB was less in case of skilled PH (2.1 min) compared with RCH (3.2 min.) and unskilled PH (17.8 min.) which eventually is reflected in total slashing and harvesting time for 1 MT FFBs. The difficulty experienced by unskilled PH was likely to be more than RCH and skilled PH method of harvest.
