The second way is called selective picking. During this method the way to get the berries is to only choose the berries that are ripe and ready, but they have to have people rotate throughout 8-10 days to get all of them. The strip picked way is easier because it can be done by machine or hand and it takes up less time. The selectively picked way requires more time, is expensive, and it has to be done by hand. In most countries there is just one harvest a year, but some have two which include a main crop and a secondary crop. They are then sent to a processing plant. There is also two ways for the berries to be processed. The first way is called the dry method. The berries are spread out on something and dried in the sun. To prevent spoiling the beans are mixed daily. The beans are covered at night and when it rains to keep them dry. This process can take up to 7 weeks. The second way is the wet method. The pulp and skin are first separated from the bean. They are then separated by weight and size. After this they put in water fermentation tanks to get the beans’ slick layer off. The beans can be in the water for anywhere from 12 to 48 hours. The beans are ready to be dried. They can do like method 1 and be dried and turns regularly in the sun or in machines called tumblers.

* Wet berries have to also be dried. This adds an hour to the total processing time as it takes one hour to dry 200 bbls per dryer. However, since there are only 2 steps to each process (dry: dechaff, destine; wet: dechaff, dry) there really is no time added to the whole process
Arrival of berries- In the process fruit, first berries are arrived on receiving plant no.1. In which, average truck delivery was 75bbls.
As the wet berry processing would take lesser time if it bulk packed, we assume that during the peak season the wet berries are only bulk packed and dry berries are bag packed.
We had to work fast and gentle so as not to bruise the berries and get them to the broker as quick as we could after picking so that they could get to the consumer while they were still good."
