Hello,

I'm now constructing an apples harvester.
It's a machine for picking apples.
Is there a possibility for producers from America
to participate in such a project?

Yes, there is; especially if it for fresh market fruit.

That being said, I have seen many ideas and it is a pretty tough proposition to harvest apples for fresh market. I suggest you contact the Washington State Research Commission http://www.treefruitresearch.com. The director is a fellow named Jim McFerson. He is a tough cookie and will ask tough questions. However, over 50% of north American apples are grown in Wa State, so he is your best bet.

hello, jrm1504

Thank you for your reply.
I'm now in a position to realize the endeavour.
For me it's important to hear more opinions.
So, I'm going to address to the Washington State Research Commission.
Perhaps we can collaborate.

Good luck with the Research Commission. I hope you're able to continue with this endeavor.

Hello, Coby Trudell.

I'm glad to receive your feedback.
Of course I would like to advance
the construction of the apple-picking-equipment.
This project contains 3 major stages:
(1) the designing stage
(2) the manufacturing stage
(3) the marketing stage
Such projects are generally performed by partnerships.
If your company would like to participate in this project,
we can speak about the details.

Hello.

Is your company working internationally?
I'm based in Israel.
If your company can work internationally
then we'll work under the control of a CPA (certified public accountant)
and in cooperation with the America-Israel Chamber of Commerce.
