<pre>Hello Kent,
I suppose "Campagnola" is an italian estate. Could you tell me the address?
How do you esteem the picking efficiency, I mean the ratio between picked
olives and non picked olives when you pick early (half green and half
coloured olives)

Hi Tony

How large a crop of green olives are you referring to and do you want
them for oil or table fruit? I can supply Campagnola pneumatic hand held
picking equipment. I have found this to be very good. The company claims
picking rates of 500kg per machine per day. We have shown this to be
conservative and have picked over 650kg per machine per day.

Let me know if you are interested and we can get a brochure to you
