Olives are harvested in record time with a special machine in Massara (video)

A truly impressive builder, he managed to build Cretan farms. In more detail, it is a machine that only needs one operator.

And twenty minutes to hit an olive acre owned by Nikos Stefanakis (Misochorio Messaras). It is a building of its own. Every year he spends a lot of money improving his machine.

Its mechanism is an oil collector – crawler. This particular machine is fully compatible with its olive grove. That is, it is linked to both territorial and purely productive areas. Because it primarily targets the “Koroneki” olive variety. An olive tree, its branches are low and its planting is dense.

Before the final appearance of the machine, Mr. Stefanakis began laying the ground. He had contacts with an agronomist in Kavala. He is the owner of a nursery for varieties patented by the Spanish company “IRTA”.

It concerns selected clones of three varieties of olive trees. They can meet the requirements of dense and very dense cultivation. Certain types also allow mechanical harvesting using above-grade machines.

With the labor shortage worsening year after year, it is not unlikely that other producers will resort to such solutions.
