It is very essential for farmers to know the time for olive harvest as it is one of the main indicators of the quantity for the olive oil production. It is required to obtain the greatest quantity of olive oil without increasing its acidic properties whatsoever. If it is collected soon, it may not even contain any oil in it. But on the other hand, if the olive is allowed to grow longer it may increase in the level of oil production but with increasing level of acidic property as well. It is generally harvested during November to January or it may changes to October to December depending on the location and variety. But it seems that the time beginning in autumn to the winter season is most preferable time for harvesting olives. Harvesting olive is a labour-intensive and time-consuming process. The usual harvesting methods are as follows:-
• Hand picking
• Beating trees
• Using mechanical devices
• Collecting olive from ground
• Machine harvesting
Among them, hand picking method is most time-consuming and labour-oriented. But still in some regions it is used to achieve the highest possible quality in the finalized oil.

Do you pick when green, or is there an actual measurement that can be taken. I know with grapes they measure the beaumae (?) levels. What can you do for olives?
