The people in rural areas of south India like Karnataka and Kerala mainly depend on agriculture for their livelihood. The main crops grown are Areca nut and coconut. Agriculture is now one of the most important sectors in the Indian economy. Labor Problems in every sector is leading to mechanization of processes. Agricultural sector is also facing such problem due to which most of the farmers tend to give up the practice. Areca nut cultivation is a long process involving harvesting, separating the fruits from bunches, moving the areca nut to ground, drying, de-husking, separating, bagging. Several machines are being developed to help farmers to aid the mentioned processes. “In manual process lifting the bunch of arecas and beating each areca bunch on a solid surface several times and collection of stripped Arecanut from ground level is usually performed which leads to high demands of energy expenditure and develops high work stress and risk in the majority of the Arecanut plantation workers. Areca nut Separating from the bunch is one among them. This paper explains regarding reduction of labour efforts and ease of Arecanuts for further process from the separation.
