Broccoli mechanical harvest
THE INTERNSHIP ASSIGNMENT

That is the question where you need to find the answer by doing desk research and market investigation in especially the main markets in Spain, USA and Mexico. You will interview machine builders and growers to understand their concerns and requirements.
Based upon this research you will develop an advice to Bejo what requirements are needed for the future Broccoli to be harvested mechanically. Also you will develop by combining all information input for our sales colleagues to bring knowledge and have the right conversation about future mechanical harvest of broccoli with our customers.
