Skilled laborers should be able to pick over an "almud" in one hour. The majority of the workdays are spent on one's feet and performing constant movement outdoors. Workers are rarely in one place as they move from one field to another for any period of time. There may be tasks associated with preparatory or preharvest work which may include fertilizing, clearing or suprressing weeds, combating coffee berry borer and other pests among other cultivating practices. There may also be, post harvesting tasks such as pruning coffee trees, cleaning conservation ditches, milling, drying and packing coffee and replanting or reseting the trees. Additionally, workers may engage in activities related to harvesting and cultivating plantains and other crops while the ripening of the coffee progresses. Workers must be able to stand, walk uphill and downhill, sit, sloop, squat, kneel, crouch, bend (from the waist) push, pull, reach, lift and carry items weighting in the range of 5 to 60 pounds.
