The Lebanese Daily Star has an article on the use of mifrat harvesting tools. The mifrat, invented in Italy, consists of a long pole with multiple pincers and a collection cylinder. The pincers sever the olives from tree branches and the cylinder catches them as they fall. Users can harvest up to 80 kilograms of olives a day using the device, a significant increase over what can be done by hand.
