The objective of the research is to evaluate the quality of harvesting oil palm fresh fruit bunches (FFB) correlated to the harvest system implemented by two afdelings in the oil palm plantation company, PT. Sentosa Kalimantan Jaya. The research employs descriptive design, with qualitative approach, purposive sampling and snowball sampling using questionnaires, and documentation. The research reveals that the characteristics of harvesters from two afdelings are dominated from the productive age and educated at elementary school. The harvesters in afdeling 2 have more experience than afdeling 4. Afdeling 2 provides better quality of FFB than afdeling 4, it comprises ripe fruit was 86.91%, abnormal was 1.07% and long stalk was 0%. Meanwhile, afdeling 4 comprises raw fruit was 1.32%, ripe fruit was 79.97%, and over ripe fruit was 12.88%. Both afdelings have permanent design of harvest system comprise the percentage of loose fruit, sengkleh stems, under pruning and over pruning which are beneath the standard. The under pruning interferes the process of cutting fruit, meanwhile the over pruning would potentially be able to reduce average bunches weight and produce male flowers dominantly. As a result, it can be deduced that the main factor affects the quality of permanent design of harvest system, and the quality of oil palm fresh fruit bunches is the harvesters’ experience of work. Afdeling 2 has 6 harvesters working for >5 years or 46.2%. The overall findings reveal that the longer harvester's working period, the labor productivity of harvesting oil palm will increase.

Physical damage to fruit on oil palm fresh fruit bunches due to harvest and postharvest activities include injured fruit mesocarp, fruit weight loss, and loss in fruit bunches. One of the postharvest handlings that can maintain the physical quality of the fruit is by giving gibberellins (GA3). This research aims to determine the effect of the concentration of gibberellins (GA3) whit application time before harvest on the physical quality of postharvest oil palm fresh fruit bunches. The research was conducted at Afdeling VI Garden Cot Girek PT. Perkebunan Nusantara I and in the Cot Girek Palm Oil Factory laboratory. The time of the research was conducted in June until July 2019. The study used a non factorial randomized block design method with 4 treatment levels (0 mg/l, 50 mg/l, 100 mg/l, and 150 mg/l) with 3 replications. The administration of gibberellins has a significant effect on fruit loss and fruit weight reduction with the best concentration of gibberellins is 50 ppm but does not have a significant effect on pH, moisture content, and fruit free fatty acids.

Harvesting fresh fruit bunches (FFB) is an important activity in the oil palm plantation industry. This study aimed to analyze the potential content of palm oil at the level of loose fruit that falls on the oil palm circle. Observations were made on five fresh fruit bunches with criteria 1, 3, and 5 respectively loose fruit per bunch that falls on the oil palm circle from oil palm trees that were 22, 16, 12, and 7 years old. All sample fresh fruit bunches were analyzed for potential oil to bunch and oil to wet mesocarp in the analytical laboratory of Bumitama Gunajaya Agro. Content of oil to wet mesocarp in loose fruit 1, 3, and 5 were 48,50 % b, 51,98 % a, and 53,21 % a respectively. While the content of oil to bunch in loose fruit 1, 3, and 5 were 24,19 % a, 25,52 % a, and 25,71 % a respectively. The highest potential for oil content occurs in ripe palm fruit with a level of loose fruit 5 grains per bunch that falls on that oil palm circle. Five grains per bunch on the oil palm circle can be used as an indicator for harvesters to harvest ripe fruit with optimal oil content.

This article describes how fresh fruit bunches grown by oil palm smallholders are incorporated into oil palm marketing models in Indonesia. This emotional network marketing model is a supplementary model of marketing models in Malaysia which is called factory centered and middleman model. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method. The data was collected by conducted in-depth interviews with 28 informants coming from 4 (four) categories of oil palm smallholders: oil palm tauke (middleman) that included big tauke and small tauke, workers in the loading ramps, and workers in the oil palm factories who were involved in oil palm marketing channels. The result of the research showed that the oil palm marketing channel between smallholders and either small tauke and big tauke was based on an emotional network with a strong bond of friendship, brotherhood, dwelling location, cash payment, giving loan with reasonable requirements, and providing transportation for fresh fruit bunches. In contrast, oil palm marketing channel among smallholders, loading ramp buyers, and POF was based on regulations. This writing presented a different perspective of oil palm marketing channels in general by involving the emotional network of the existing actors for getting fresh fruit bunches and the advantages of oil palm marketing. In this marketing model, there is a longer marketing channel and actors with their varied roles.

The clasification of ripeness stages of oil palm fresh fruit bunches (FFBs) can be done using color parameters. These parameters are often evaluated by human vision, whose degree of accuracy is subjective which can cause doubt in judgement. Automatic clasifications offreshfruit bunches (FFBs) based on color parameters can be done using computer vision. This method is known as a nondestructive, fast and cost effective method. In this research, a MATLAB computer program has been developed which consists of RGB and HSV GUI which is used to record, display, and process FFB image data. The backpropagation artificial neural network (ANN) program is also developed which is used to classify the oil palm fruit fresh bunches (FFBs). Samples are fresh fruit bunches (FFB) of oil palm varieties of Tenera which comprise of Topaz, Marihat, and Lonsum clones. Each clone composed of three levels of ripeness represented by five fractions. The measurements were started by capturing images of oil palm, extracting RGB and HSV values, calculating weight values from the image database to make anANN program, preparing grid programs for oil palm FFBs, and comparing grading levels of oil palm FFBs using program and by harvester. This program successfully classified oil palm (FFBs) into three categories of ripeness which are unripe (F0 and F1), ripe (F1 and F1) and over ripe (F4 and F5). The RGB and HSV programs successfully classified 79 out of 216 FFBs or 36.57% and 106 out of 216 TBS or 49.07%. Respectively the HSV program is better than RGB program because the representation of HSV color space are more understood by human perception hence can be used in calibration and color comparison.
