After picking, the best of the green Kona is processed by one of two methods — the dry process method, simpler and less labor -
intensive as the berries can be strip picked, and the wet way, which incorporates fermentation and yields a mild Kona.
As a result, one hectare of California land will yield over 34,000 kilograms of
berries, compared to approximately 2,000 in Ontario, in the process allowing for a much more
intensive and efficient use of fuel, capital, machinery and other resources.
