Hello sir
Time of harvest is based on date fruit’s appearance and texture (related to moisture and sugar content). Proper timing of harvest reduces incidence and severity of cracking or splitting of dates, excessive dehydration, insect infestation, and attack by microorganisms.
Dates are harvested in August at the khalal stage or in September to December at the rutab and tamar stages.
Date bunches are usually covered with net covers to collect the fallen ripe fruits. As the palm tree grows taller, harvesting
the dates becomes more difficult and more costly. Ladders may be mounted on the palm tree to facilitate harvesting.
Rutab and tamar dates are harvested as whole bunches (when the majority of dates are ripe) that are lowered to the ground level and shaken into a bin to remove the ripe dates.
individual ripe dates are picked from the bunches and on average 3 pickings are required over several days.
Pickers use different types of containers and harvesting aids to lower the dates to the ground level. Fallen dates on the ground, which are more subject to mechanical damage, should never be collected and sold for human consumption because of the increased chances for microbial contamination and embedding of soil into the flesh when the dates touch the ground.

Dear Sir,
The fruits will mature and get ripened.You can eat it as fruit or dry it and keep for some time.There is no radical processing involved, if it is date palm.
