We harvest bittermelon in Ethiopia two times a week when the fruits are firm and nearly ripe. This is usually around 2 months after transplantation from the nursery. Our produce agents guide farmers to only select the fruits that are still green because they keep fresh before ripening. We chop the stalk holding the fruit by sharpened scissors. Immediately after the picking process in the morning hours, we cart away the fruits from the sun for temporary handling. Eventual packing follows.

We sort and clean Ethiopia bittermelon in a shaded place such as our warehouse. We cull the firm, healthy, green fruits from any yellow or orange colored fruits.

The firmer the fruit the better it is.

We pack Ethiopia bittermelon in 13.5 or 14 kg produce boxes. We usually first transport them to the packing shed after which we sort the best and keep them in their boxes.

For additional freshness, we cushion the produce with plantain leaves.
