Most of the area consists of smallholder tea plantations, which developed by <br /> <br /> <br /> Indonesian Tea Board by allocating its product as one of the sources for <br /> <br /> <br /> bigger tea companies in hope for a better cooperation between the two <br /> <br /> <br /> parties based on agropolitan concept. Agropolitan itself should be supported <br /> <br /> <br /> by advanced technology, tools, infrastructure and facility, which fitted the <br /> <br /> <br /> farmer’s condition to be able to meet company’s tea production standard. <br /> <br /> <br /> Guaranteed quality, sufficient unit of commodity, puncutuality <br /> <br /> <br /> andsustainability of supply are some of the requirements. <br /> <br /> <br /> Tea production itself is a labor intensive industry as the quality of the tea lies <br /> <br /> <br /> in the bud harvesting process, and the best way to sort them is to handpick <br /> <br /> <br /> them. The tea bud is also the best-selling part of the tea plant and it needs to <br /> <br /> <br /> be harvested at the right time. To do that, we need a harvesting tool that <br /> <br /> <br /> helps farmers to sort tea buds as they harvest them — instead of sorting them <br /> <br /> <br /> out afterwards at the factory, with a larger capacity to raise the production <br /> <br /> <br /> rate, also for the farmers’ prosperity to be achieve. <br />
