Areca nut harvesting season comes once a year, but is split over the course of few months where in harvesting is done four times per tree. The most widely used process is to use manual labor to harvest the nut. In this process a skilled worker has to climb the tree with a cutting tool and harvest one tree and then he jumps to the adjacent tree. It is said that one worker can harvest up to an acre a day i.e. 400-500 trees. The main issue in this process is lack or scarcity of labour and the cost of labour per day. The process of harvesting is very laborious and requires a lot of man power as they have to manually climb the tree. Due to this the younger generations are not taking up this work or looking for more lucrative stable and safe professions. This along the increase in the number of people planting areca nut crop is resulting in high demand but acute shortage of labour.
