In 2017, Taoyuan District Agricultural Research and Extension Station has developed a tractor mounted once-over harvester for sweet potatoes. After several tests in different cultivation sites, it showed the vine removing, digging and picking were completed at one go without damaging the skin. It replaces the human labor and reduces the production cost, and at the same time, the appearance of the sweet potato is not damaged by mechanical harvest. The mounted harvester shares a 30-hp tractor which can also mount other agricultural equipment. The once-over harvester can harvest 0.2 ha in one hour which is 60-80 times faster than the human labor. The harvesting cost is 400 NT$ per 0.1 ha and the saving is 5,600 NT$ as compared to 6,000 NT$ of human labor harvesting. The harvester has great market potential and is technically transferred to agricultural machinery manufacturer for mass production.
