Warm greetings to all members of this beloved community and to all friends who always share interesting posts about plantations.
Hi friends, wherever you are, I'm back with you in this beloved community. Tonight I'm going to tell you about the coconut harvest process on my farm. Yesterday the weather was very sunny, and of course, sunny weather makes for great photos.
Yesterday I went to the farm with my grandmother and some people who work to buy the coconuts I harvest. They brought their employees, such as coconut peelers and tree climbers. Is the coconut picking process in your area the same as in my hometown? In my hometown, I pick coconuts by hiring people to climb the trees. Perhaps your area has more practical equipment for picking coconuts.
Upon arriving at my farm, the first thing I did was park my motorbike safely and take some photos of the many coconut trees visible where I parked my motorbike.
and this is what My plantation looks like.
After that, I went straight into the farm and saw my oil palm trees and the banana trees I planted, which are now over a year old. While waiting for the person to climb the coconut tree, I immediately cleaned my banana tree in the garden, while my grandmother looked for coconut leaves to make a broom and sharpened them to take home.

I had just cut the krakas leaves from my banana tree. I saw that the person who climbed the coconut tree had already come down, and the person peeling the coconuts was immediately selecting the coconuts to stack in a cool place so they wouldn't get too hot while peeling them.
In my area, they peel coconuts using a special iron stick, which is stuck into the ground for easier pressure. Perhaps your area has a sophisticated coconut peeling machine, making it easier than in my hometown.

Then I immediately walked back while looking at the trunk of my oil palm tree. Hello, I'm back again to look at the peeled coconuts. Well, in my area, some peeled coconuts are still left over because they are sold differently. Coconuts with the shells are priced at around 4,000 rupiah per fruit, while unpeeled coconuts are sold by the kilo.

After photographing some peeled coconuts, I immediately walked over and saw someone climbing a coconut tree. I managed to capture him climbing the coconut tree, but the photo is a bit small because I was standing a bit far away.

After I photographed everything and took some very detailed and complete photos to show you how people in my area climb coconut trees and peel coconuts, I felt really sweaty. Naturally, I wanted to get some water and return to the hut on my farm.
This is what I looked like when I went to the hut for a drink.
So, friends, this is how I harvest coconuts in my area. As we know, in 2025, the price was quite good. Although I felt tired, the harvest was worth it. Although not much, the results were satisfying, and we should all be grateful for what we get.
All the photos I show here of my plantation were taken with my camera.
