Harvesting my pisang raja (banana) fruits

This is taken in the evening of 5 December 2021. Where I manage to harvest 5 sisir/sikat (bunch/comb) pisang raja (banana) fruits.
The huge size of my pisang raja (banana) fruit. 
3/5 long from 750 ml Listerine bottle. 
Harvesting process. After more than 12 hours think of way to safely harvest it. 
From this position taken last 4 December 2021. As 1 sisir/sikat (bunch/comb) already yellow in colour. Wrong harvesting technique will leads to fallen banana fruits to the ground. And the banana fruits will get bruised all over. Leads to fast black spots. Basically it is a delicate, tedious and meticulous harvesting style.
Safely harvested banana fruits. 
First or top most sisir/sikat (bunch/comb) banana fruits.
Second 
sisir/sikat (bunch/comb) banana fruits. 
Third sisir/sikat (bunch/comb) banana fruits. 
Fourth and fifth sisir/sikat (bunch/comb) banana fruits.
Total weight of all 5 sisir/sikat (bunch/comb) banana fruits is 12.1 kg. Around 80 unit of banana fruits. Well, standard selling procedure in the market is to sell by kg, not per how many banana fruits.
Sold at price RM 6.5 per kg. As need to accomodate with the hiked up price for fertilizer and pest control. Also the increasing fuel price. As I deliver the banana fruits myself, with incoterm DDU [1]. That also need to considet my time and effort.
All safely delivered to one regular customer who always buy 1 whole bunch of it. Where she always prebook the banana fruits in advance whenever I shared the picture of the banana inflorescence or heart. 
I do use long machete, serrated knife, cutter and pruning saw in the harvesting process. And really worth money spend invested in pruning saw. Make harvesting process much more at ease. 
Till then, be safe while harvesting your planted banana fruits at home. 

Reference:
[1] The current closest term that best describes the function of DDU is Delivered-at-Place (DAP).
What is delivered duty paid (DDU Incoterm®)?
DDU Incoterm, which is short for “delivered duty unpaid,” is an international commerce term (incoterm) which means that the seller will deliver the goods as soon as they are made available at an agreed-upon location in the country to which they are imported.
