Kegiatan pemanenan di Kebun Utara Petapahan sudah berjalan cukup baik, terlihat dari hasil produksi harian yang sesuai dengan taksasi produksi dengan nilai varian rata-rata di bawah 5% dan muatan panen pada alat truk yang sudah sesuai kapasitas. Walaupun demikian beberapa hal masih perlu diperbaiki dan ditingkatkan seperti rotasi panen yang masih panjang, pengadaan alat pelindung diri (APD) kaca mata dan kepatuhan dalam penggunaan helm yang masih dibawah angka 100%, mutu buah busuk yang sudah diatas standar sebesar 1,69% dari batas toleransi 1% , kapasitas pemanen rata-rata masih belum mencapai basis panen, kehilangan hasil berupa berondolan yang tidak terkutip dan buah matang tidak dipanen masih ditemukan pada saat pemeriksaan hanca., Oil palm is one of the important plantation commodities as a source of income for Indonesian.
