Many new "Contract Sprayers," unaware of the common practises in the Philippians, have taken on additional responsibilities that were previously the responsibility of the tree owners.
The actual agreement that contract sprayers are misinterpreting is that tree owners must keep their trees: a) irrigated; b) fertilized; c) and pruned, between the end of a harvest and the start of the contract sprayer's subsequent flower inducing. After all, tree owners get a 20 percent cut of the harvest's final gross revenue and must also contribute to keeping their trees healthy between harvests.
The costs of keeping the trees healthy between harvests has a direct impact on the number of mangos harvested the following growing season. If the tree owners refuse to fulfil their obligations under the "understood work/profit split arrangement," the contract sprayers should be entitled to compensation for either: a) doing the tree owner's work or for; b) the lowering of the mango yield, due to neither party providing this critical component of the overall process. In such cases, the tree owner may have to accept a lower percentage directly related to the tasks they have not completed.
Contract Sprayers should review the responsibilities of both parties in the agreement before accepting a new tree owner spraying contract to ensure that there are no misunderstandings once the total yield from their trees has been sold.
