Abstract: Bananas are important economic crops in China.Developing mechanized and intelligent harvesting of bananas can help improve production efficiency,solve labor shortages,improve harvesting quality,and reduce production costs,which is in line with the trend of modern agricultural development.With the strong support of national policies for agriculture,the development of mechanized and intelligent banana harvesting is of great significance.This study reviewed and analyzed the current status of banana harvesting methods and equipment in China through field investigations in Hainan,Zhanjiang,Guangdong,and western Guangdong regions,combined with relevant literature.It pointed out the problems of agricultural machinery and agronomic mismatch,separation between harvesting and transportation,and unclear advantages of related machinery in the current stage of banana mechanized harvesting in China,and pointed out the development trend of future banana harvesting and transportation machinery.
