The most traditional method consists in taking the olives one by one by hand or with a rake. The olives are put into a container which the farmer has hanging. When it is full it's empty into a trailer. To reach the highest branches the farmer uses ladders.
- Advantages.- we don't cause any damage to the fruits and we don't get them dirty.
- Drawback.- it's slow process and the productivity of a person is low.
Other method, and one of the most common harvest method, consist in extending nets along the ground. Later you hit the tree with a stick to make the olives fall into the net. To be sure that you've got all the fruits, later we use a tractor with a mechanical arm which catch the tree trunk and shakes it. When we throw the olives to the ground, some branches fall too, and we must separate them of the olives. When we only have olives in the nets, we use a crane that catches the nets and we put the olives in a triler to transport them.
- Advantages.- It's very fast and easy, and you take all the olives.
- Drawback.- we can damage the tree.
