Harvesting

After the fruits ripen, they start drying and turn dark brown from bright green color. This is the right time to harvest the fruits. The fruits are collected by hands and then cut open to get the seeds. These seeds can then be used either for planting more trees or extracting oil for bio diesel production.

Once the plant reaches the final stage wherein it produces maximum output i.e. after 3 to 4 years, it will keep on producing oilseeds for 40-50 years. All one needs to do is irrigate them as per schedule laid and harvest them whenever they bear seeds.
