The percentage of losses in the land area is 1.73 percent of the total FFB yield. Meanwhile, the number of losses in the factory sorted amount was 2.70 percent and became the most significant loss for post-harvest FFB losses at KOPSA-M. The sources of post-harvest loss of FFB at KOPSA-M are harvest time, harvesting techniques. implemented by harvesters, cleanliness of plantation land, harvesting places (TPH), fruit and plant maintainers, and sunlight, human resources (HR) from oil palm harvesters,
