Macadamia harvesting

Macadamia Harvesting

Macadamia nuts mature and naturally fall to the ground when ready for harvest. Key aspects of harvesting include:

• Harvesting Time: Nuts are typically harvested between March and September, depending on the region and variety.
• Collection: Fallen nuts are collected manually or using mechanical harvesters to prevent contamination and losses.
• Dehusking: Nuts should be dehusked within 24 hours of collection to prevent spoilage.
• Drying: The nuts are air-dried to reduce moisture content before further processing.
