Agriculture / Almond harvest
German term or phrase: Mittelernte
"Ursächlich für diese Entwicklung sind die schlechte Bohnenqualität der Mittelernte und der unzureichende Absatz des Koppelproduktes Kakaopulver."

mid-crop
Explanation:
"After six months, the cocoa pods are full-grown and are ready to be harvested. There are two harvests per year. In Ivory Coast and Ghana, the main harvest lasts from October to March and the mid-crop from May to August."

"The percentage of crop harvested in the main crop season and the mid-crop season will vary from country to country. The biggest differential between main and mid crop harvests is in Africa where the mid-crop accounts for about 15%-20% of the total harvest; in other countries the differential is not so obvious.

The following table gives an idea of the main and mid crop seasons in selected countries."
