We recently welcomed Marko from Kokan to the UK to demonstrate the Kokan Air Berry Harvester to a group of UK blueberry growers looking at the benefits of mechanical harvesting for their own blueberry farms.
As blueberry production continues to develop across the UK, growers are looking for ways to improve harvesting efficiency, manage seasonal labour requirements and maximise productivity during the short and demanding blueberry harvest season. Mechanical blueberry harvesting can provide an effective solution for commercial blueberry farms looking to reduce their reliance on manual picking.
The Kokan Air Berry Harvester is a specialist harvesting machine designed for berry production. For UK blueberry farms, mechanical harvesting can help increase harvesting capacity while reducing the amount of manual labour required to bring the crop in during the busy harvest period.
For growers considering investing in a blueberry harvesting machine in the UK, seeing the Kokan Air Berry Harvester working first-hand provides an important opportunity to understand how mechanical harvesting could work within their own fields.
Mechanical harvesting offers a number of potential advantages for commercial blueberry growers, including:
Reduced reliance on seasonal labour – Mechanical harvesting can reduce the requirement for manual fruit picking.
Increased harvesting productivity – Cover more crop efficiently during the critical blueberry harvest window.
Greater harvesting capacity – Help manage larger areas of blueberry production more efficiently.
Consistent mechanical harvesting – A repeatable harvesting process across commercial blueberry fields.
Improved labour efficiency – Reduce the pressure associated with recruiting and managing seasonal harvesting teams.
Investment in harvesting technology – Introduce modern machinery to help future-proof blueberry growing operations.
The UK blueberry industry faces a number of challenges, with labour availability and harvesting costs being important considerations for commercial growers.
As blueberry farms increase in scale, investing in specialist blueberry harvesting equipment can help growers explore new ways of improving efficiency and managing their harvesting operations.
At Kirkland UK, we are committed to bringing innovative agricultural and fruit-growing machinery to UK growers. The Kokan Air Berry Harvester provides an exciting option for blueberry farms looking to explore the potential of mechanical blueberry harvesting.
During our recent demonstration, we were able to showcase the Kokan Air Berry Harvester to UK blueberry growers who are actively considering mechanical harvesting for their own farms.
The demonstration gave growers the opportunity to see the blueberry harvester in operation, discuss its capabilities with Marko from Kokan and consider how mechanical harvesting could fit into their individual production systems.
For growers considering a blueberry harvester in the UK, demonstrations such as this provide valuable insight into the practical application of harvesting technology in commercial blueberry production.
We are proud to support UK fruit growers with specialist machinery and innovative technology designed to help improve efficiency across modern farming and horticultural operations.
If you operate a blueberry farm in the UK and are interested in reducing manual harvesting requirements, increasing harvesting capacity or exploring mechanical blueberry harvesting, our team can help you find out more about the Kokan Air Berry Harvester.
