How to Harvest Peas

The harvesting is done in rows, and each person harvests at their own pace. It is important to pick the pods carefully, one by one, to avoid any damage or marks on the surface of the pods. Additionally, care must be taken to avoid destroying the plants, as some may need to be harvested a few days later. Only pods that are in good condition and suitable for consumption should be harvested.

Collecting the Peas

The peas must be collected in buckets, free of leaves, stems, or non-consumable pods. Immediately after harvesting, the peas will be transported to the packing station, where they should be carefully poured into crates, which will be scanned according to the indicated quantities.

Label with Your Personal Code

You must attach a label with your personal code to each crate. Your harvest will be recorded by scanning the code provided to you upon arrival. It is essential to place the label with the code and the crate in the correct position to ensure proper registration. You will be instructed on these procedures.

If You Have No Experience in Pea Harvesting

You may need a brief training session at the beginning to quickly gain speed and quality in your work. Don’t worry, we will guide you through the process.

Efficient Work

It’s important to have the necessary skills for efficient hand movements and the ambition to work for extended hours. It is in your best interest to be aware of your ability to work piece-rate, for example, from other types of work, before you come or even apply. If, after one or two weeks, it becomes apparent that you are not serious about the work or do not fit well with this type of job, you will unfortunately need to leave the team.

Practice and Discipline

To work efficiently on a piece-rate basis, practice and discipline are necessary. It is not necessarily hard work, but rather a matter of developing the skill to minimize unnecessary movements. Some people don’t understand this and never learn. That’s why there can be significant differences in the earnings of harvesters, depending on their efficiency and discipline.
