Abstract:
International training and development Center and Zentrale Auslands- und
Fachvermittlung is an organization/program that helps as an college students find a
workplace for their internship. Thus, the student intern conducts the on the–JobTraining at Ulm, Renchen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
Climate Change is the most difficult to anticipate as it hinders predicting the
changing weather. Moreover, for the farmers or owner of the farm will be very
challenging especially when drought, heavy rains and cold or freezing weather occurs
because there are an advantages and disadvantages in the farm. To begin with, the

i


farm fields have five (5) different kinds of fruits in which are strawberry, plum,
cherry, apple and grapes which are scattered in different places of Ulm that are

twenty-seven (27) hectares in total of the fruit fields. Generally, fruit farming have
many challenges and struggles during the harvest season of the fruits and also during
the post-harvesting.
In Spraul’s fruit farm, no fruit is put into waste as every fruit that have a big or
small size, ripe or not, even its deteriorated fruit, it can be brought to the winery.
However, as for selling, the fruits must have a better quality and a big size to have a
better income. So when the drought occurs the fruit trees are lacking of water and the
fruits are smaller than the usual size or dried out. Moreover, when it have a heavy or
normal rain, the fruits becomes bigger.
As a result, the student intern learns a lot from the internship, gain a lot of skills
and knowledge throughout the fruit farming activities with the help of the supervisor
and owner especially the workers in the farm in Germany.

Chapter I. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Rationale
The International Training and Development Center (ITC) is a program that helps
the student of TUAF to pursue there On the-Job-Training in another country with the
partnership of Zentrale Auslands- und Fachvermittlung (ZAV). ZAV is an agency that
helps and gives the chance to do a practicum (praktikum) overseas like in Germany,
they find a fruit farm where can the trainees can conduct their internships. ITC is located
at Thai Nguyen University of Agriculture and Forestry while ZAV is based in Bonn but
it is formerly in Frankfurt am Main in Germany.
In Germany, it is the nation with the longest custom in natural cultivating and
showcasing for health products. At South Western part of Germany in BadenWürttemberg, they are excellent in making Liqueurs made up of fruits like Strawberries,
Cherries, Plum, Apple, Grapes and etc.. The intern student involved in the mentioned
fruits whereas harvested in different months according to the peak season of the fruit.
Moreover, the most common problem in fruit farming is the Climate change, thus,
no one can forecast the weather due to climate changing. At Spraul’s farm at BadenWürttemberg in Ulm Renchen, Germany they grow different kinds of fruits like
Fragaria × ananassa (strawberry), Prunus avium (cherry), Prunus domestica (Plum),
Malus domestica (Apple) and Vitis (Grapes). It is located in different places.
Additionally, another problem in the farm were the changes in temperature and water
availability in the farm. Moreover, no one was incapable to tell when it will rain or when
will be the day that is warmth just as having a superior climate. In the farm, water is
significant so when it is drizzling, the natural product trees can have more water besides

4


of watering them and the natural products are getting larger compared to the standard
size. However, when there is an excess of downpour or an overwhelming precipitation
the topsoil can be washed off that may cause flooding the natural organic product trees.
Thus, it was difficult to work since the soil was slippery whenever it was raining.
Similarly, the usual issue in every farm was the dry season, it is the none
precipitation or supplemental water framework for some time sufficient to deplete soil
debilitate and damage plants. In short, Dry season was the worst, the water availability
was not enough for the fruit trees to ingest for the roots to be in good shape. So the
organic products are smaller than the typical size or/and it dried out.
Furthermore, changing of weather was influencing the workers work in the farm,
they cannot do their tasks well, especially when it has too much heat and precipitation.
In addition, during neared winter it was difficult to work with a low temperature that
leads to freeze. Thus, in changing of climate, the laborers can easily get an ailment that
may influence the works in the farm. However, if there was some individual involved
in the incident that may cause a worker an accident that need a long time rest, it turns
out to be a big troublesome and dull for the other laborers since it multiplied their task.
The task given to the student intern were post-harvesting that involved of packaging
of the fruits that have been harvested, taking care of the fruits trees such as removing,
controlling the pest and the fruit that have been deformed, and also the harvesting. There
were five (5) fruits that they have, the interns and the laborers’ will work independently
with similar task in the different harvest season of the fruits.

1.2 Objectives and the Goals

1.2.1 Employer’s Objectives
The employer’s objectives must work independently, good, fast and finish the
task excellently, and most importantly, always be on time during working hours.
1.2.2 Student Intern’s Objectives
The student intern’s objectives are to have experience in a reputed
organization/farm offering the opportunity, to enhance the abilities and be
knowledgeable in farming, and to have idea or any information about fruit farming.
1.2.3 Farm’s Objectives
The farm’s objectives are to have a good harvest so that it can gain and earn good
profit and to continue the farm as currently it is.
1.2.4 The Goals of the Farm
The goals of the farm are to have better quality of fruits that can be harvested and
to have more information about different kinds of fruits especially in strawberry, cherry,
apples, plum and grapes.
1.3 Contents of Work
List of the student made during the internship are:
1.3.1 Post harvesting
In the farm, the workers and the student interns taking care of the fruit trees
especially during the growth season the trees are very sensitive in that days so in every
fruit tree they remove the dry leaves, fungus, and the weeds have been removed. In
addition the growth of the apple the task is to remove the excess fruits and/or removed

6


the apples that have abnormality/misshaped (fig. 6 and 7) while in grapes the task was
aligning the stem of the grapes upward (fig.9) so when the harvest season occurs it is
easy to cut the fruit. Furthermore, the workers also did the weighing and transporting
the fruits that have been harvested.
1.3.2 Harvesting

Harvesting is a process of gathering the acceptable fruits for specific
purposes. In the farm, harvesting of strawberries, cherry, apples, plum, grapes for
winery and also for selling in the market (fig.2,fig.4,fig.5, fig.6 and fig. 8). It was
harvested manually using the bare hands to protect the quality of the fruit and to
avoid the bruise that will leads to fast deterioration and unacceptable of the fruit
1.4 Profile of the Cooperating Agency and Farm
1.4.1 Brief Introduction of the Cooperating Agency and Farm
1.4.1.1 Cooperating Agency
ITC have an internship program that helps the national and the international
students at Thai Nguyen University, they use their connection overseas to help the
student to find a place where they can conduct there internship together with the
Zentrale Auslands- und Fachvermittlung (ZAV) also known as Praktikum Global who
give the chance and the opportunity to the students. They teach trainees and apprentices
to farms, nurseries, and fruit farms, they will look for the best place that can try your
knowledge and skills as well as to enhanced it.

Zentrale Auslands- und Fachvermittlung (ZAV) was based on Bonn
(formerly Zentralstelle für Arbeitsvermittlung in Frankfurt am Main ) It is in charge
everything being equal and gatherings of individuals who don't have a locally delimited
work showcase, for example, craftsmen, gifted specialists from the stage and film
division or supervisors in the executives. Incompletely in participation with the
neighborhood business organizations, the ZAV executes different projects that enable
remote laborers to work in Germany for a specific timeframe (WIKIPEDIA. n.d).
1.4.1.1.1 History of ITC
International Training and Development Center (ITC) under administration of
Thai Nguyen University of Agriculture and Forestry – Thai Nguyen University, which

was initially named International Training Center and Overseas Study Advisory Service,
was set up on fifth April 2006, which incorporate the accompanying obligations: (1)
Establishing and actualizing global instructional classes at both undergrad and graduate
levels; (2) Conducting understudy and speaker trade programs; (3) Seeking and
investigating household and universal grant programs; (4) Organizing momentary
English instructional classes; (5) Setting-up association with outside accomplices for
structure collaboration programs in training and other related perspectives (TUAF.2012)
Nowaday, the Center has set up increasingly new missions planning to fulfill the
universal needs of instruction and preparing mix: actualizing Student Exchange,
Internship Programs, Overseas warning administration and so on. For structure, the
Management Board of ITC has effectively assembled its association structure and the
executives instrument including undergrad and postgraduate program the executives,
understudy the executives, instructive quality investigation framework, looking for

8


grant projects and abroad examination warning, organization and bookkeeping
framework (TUAF.2012).
1.4.1.1.2 International Training and Development Center (ITC) Mission
ITC is mandated to provide highly qualified human resources and promote
international cooperation. The Center is a pathway to becoming a trusted unit in
education and training which brings students various opportunities of approaching
advanced education systems and meet the human resource demand of industrialization,
modernization, and global integration. (TUAF.2012)
1.4.1.2 Farm
Spraul’s farm was started at the year of 1970 it was 49 years and counting in farm
business. Anton and Martha Spraul were the one who established the said farm, at first
it is not only about fruits, it also have an animals but when his son Peter Spraul take over
the business at the year 1976 they did not continue the animal farming and he just focus

on fruit farming and they expand their land to grow more and different kinds of fruits.
Until Peter’s son take over the farming business he just maintain what it was and also
expand their land. In their farm there workers are all from the land of Romania but when
Patric Michael Spraul take over he accept an intern student to work or do the internship.
In fact, All the fruits that they harvested most of it was brought to the winery at Renchen,
Germany they are one of the supplier of fruits to the winery, some of the fruits was
delivered to some supermarkets or they just put it at the front of their house.

1.4.2 Background of the training supervisor/ owner and his/her position
Patric Michael Spraul was the third generation owner of their farming business
he was an Obstbauer (farmer) the same with his father, he finished his study at
Ministerium Ländlicher Raumat Baden-Württemberg, he was certified as state expert in
fruit production (Staatlich Geprüfter Wirtschafter für Obstbau).
1.4.3 Frequency meeting with the training supervisor/owner
The student intern meet him every day like what the trainee stated that her boss,
Patric Michael Spraul, helps during the working hours in the month of May to first week
of August, However, by August to September they only encounter there boss few times
because the boss have personal things to do by his own and work is not that much like
the previous months passed. By October, the first one week and a half she often meet
him again but only every morning for the reason of he’s the one who drive for the two
interns and the one worker to their working site, this begin when the one employee needs
to go back in there country and they also see each other sometimes in the afternoon.
After that week the whole Spraul’s family help to harvest because it should be finished
before the cold season comes but even though it’s not yet winter time the weather is like
its already winter season. The owner gave the workers and trainees a work plan (Table
1 Schedule to follow and Table 2 English version).

Chapter II: LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 International Literature Review
To begin with, Atmosphere effect studies have reliably anticipated broad effects

to the horticultural division from environmental change over the globe (Tol et.al, 2002).
In Agricultural production in most part of the world will confront less unsurprising
climate conditions than mankind experienced amid the escalated of farming over the
last century. In addition, Weather extremes will ended up overwhelming, flexibility and
adaptiveness are unused prerequisites picking up significance for advancement in
farming (Kadir, S., Sidhu, G., & Al-Khatib, K., 2006)
Moreover, climate impact have reliably anticipated broad effects to the
horticultural part from environmental change over the world and As effects of
environmental change have turned out to be obvious, adjustment has pulled in
expanding consideration. Thus, the effects are relied upon to be especially extreme in
the creating scene and among minimized networks on account of constrained versatile
limit. In addition, Adjustment is a significant column for the reaction to environmental
change, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Assessment
Reports feature the correlative jobs of moderation and adjustment in atmosphere
arrangement. Especially, IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) (IPCC, 2007).
Changes in temperature have just caused longer developing seasons and started
to affect phenological stages (Wolfe et al., 2005) and particularly temperature impacts
on propagation, and survival. Thus, most likely environmental change will require
versatile administration procedures to adapt. A few analysts anticipate that specific
insect pests, infection, and weeds may endure or even replicate all the more regularly

13


every year if cold winters never again hold them within proper limits. (Porter et
al. 1991).
Apart from this, environmental change will extraordinarily impact solidness
zones, affecting developing season length chilling hours, false springs, the planning of
blooming, extraordinary temperatures, and the existence cycle of nuisances and
ailments. Furthermore, these progressions will have both positive and negative effects

on the area's agrarian generation, subject to the area just as the natural product species
and cultivars being created. In addition, One constructive outcome will build CO levels
in the climate which is relied upon to have a useful treatment impact on most wares, in
any event until mid-twenty-first century (Eigenbrode et al. 2013). However, higher
discuss temperatures antagonistically influence plant development, fertilization and
regenerative forms (Sacks and Kucharik, 2011). This warming pattern influences the
farming business as heat waves, short-and long drought, and hotter winters. Right
now, a considerable lot of the impacts are mellow or positive, yet by mid-century,
atmosphere effects are anticipated to be negative on most yield (Hatfield et al. 2014).
Besides, there is an enormous literature that study the effects of an Earth-wide
temperature boost will have on yield development and production. (Lobell and
Gourdji, 2012). Thus, for a specific harvest, the impact of expanded temperature will
rely upon the yield's ideal temperature for development and generation. Moreover, in
territories where warming surpasses a harvest's ideal temperature, yields can decay.
(Lobell and Field 2007). An Extraordinary climate conditions are drought and flood
which are intently intertwined with environmental change can influence agriculture and
employment from various perspectives that incorporate all out disappointment or

14


diminished harvest and severe livestock deaths (Stringer et al., 2009). Additionally,
Pace of plant development and advancement is reliant upon the temperature
encompassing the plant and every species has a particular temperature range by a base,
most extreme, and ideal (Hatfield et al., 2011). Moreover, heat waves or outrageous
temperature occasions are anticipated to turn out to be progressively extreme,
increasingly regular, and last longer than what is being presently been distinguished in
recent years (Meehl et al., 2007). In general, extraordinary high temperatures during the
regenerative stage will influence dust suitability, preparation, and grain or natural
product arrangement (Hatfield et al., 2011).

Furthermore, the difficulties and advantages concentrate for the most part
around moving atmosphere zones and water accessibility which will fundamentally
impact crop decisions, yield and nature of harvests, and ranch net returns (L. Houston
et al.,2018). Chronic exposures to extreme temperatures during the pollination stage of
initial grain or fruit set will reduce yield potential. However, acute exposure to extreme
events may be most detrimental during the reproductive stages of development. The
impacts of climate change are most evident in crop productivity because this parameter
represents the component of greatest concern to producers, as well as consumers.
Changes in the length of the growth cycle are of little consequence as long as the crop
yield remains relatively consistent and the Yield responses to temperature vary among
species based on the crop’s cardinal temperature requirements. Moreover, Warming
temperatures associated with climate change will affect plant growth and development
along with crop yield (Jerry L.Hatfield J.L. and John H.Prueger, 2015).

15


At present, there are various classifications of individuals for example the
farmer, authority, distributer and retailer engaged with the vegetable and natural
product showcasing chain, who perform different postharvest exercises like gathering,
arranging and reviewing, gathering, putting away, shipping and selling. Farmers sell
the majority of their produce through middle people and increase the value of the
essential item provided (FAO, June 2016).
Adaptation and Mitigation mechanisms are required likewise in the postranch/post-essential generation organize. Extraordinary climatic and hydrological
occasions can make transportation of sustenance less dependable because of floods,
overwhelming downpours, avalanches and so on. Along these lines, enhancement of
supply chains and expanded nearby creation may build the flexibility and security of
sustenance supply chains ( Miller et al., 2016b). Agriculture can likewise profit by
mechanical developments for example, biotechnology and accuracy cultivating.
Furthermore, Novel plant reproducing innovations can give crop assortments that are

progressively appropriate to new ecological conditions, like dry season safe harvests
( Hu

&

Xiong,

2014),

or

have

higher

fixations

and

bioavailability of

micronutrients( Bhullar & Gruissem, 2013).
Farmers have conceivable outcomes to adjust to natural changes by modifying
ranch the executives rehearses namely, changing harvest assortments, planting times,
water system practices and buildup the board, or by actualizing major fundamental
changes, for example, changes to various yield species and changes in cultivating
frameworks or even migration of horticulture to new zones ( Challinor et al., 2014). In

16

addition, Many cultivating rehearses that expansion the atmosphere versatility of
farming likewise help to relieve GHG emission ( Miller et al., 2016b).
There is impressive genotypic variety among foods grown from the ground crops
in their winter toughness (that is, the capacity to endure explicit low temperature limits),
and variety in their "winter chilling" prerequisite for ideal blooming and fruitset in the
spring and summer. Situation of foods grown from the ground crops inside explicit
regions are identified with the synchrony of phenological stages to the atmosphere and

The developed huge fruited strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) started in Europe in the
eighteenth century. Most nations built up their very own assortments during the
nineteenth century, and those are frequently uncommonly appropriate for the
atmosphere, day length, elevation, or kind of creation required in a specific area.
Strawberries are created monetarily both for prompt consumption and for preparing as
solidified, canned, or saved berries or as juice.
Moreover, Given the short-lived nature of the berries and the farfetchedness of
mechanical picking, the organic product is for the most part developed close focuses of
utilization or preparing and where adequate work is accessible. The berries are handpicked legitimately into little bins and crated for advertising or put into plate for
preparing. Early yields can be created under glass or plastic covering. Strawberries are
truly transient and require cool dry stockpiling.(“ The Editors of Encyclopaedia
Britannica”,July 1998). In addition, Strawberry cultivars development in particular

regions are adjusted to the day length and temperature. In any case, warm stretch is one
of the challenges that confront strawberry production (Sorkel Kadir et al. Oct 2006)
The natural products in this manner confined from the trees are frequently
permitted to fall on to the ground. This training prompts genuine mechanical/physical
harm to the produce (FAO, June 2016).

In general, The best possible time to expel an organic product from the tree or
plant fluctuates with each leafy foods represented by whether the item will be sold and
devoured inside hours, or put away for quite a long time, months, or even a year. Most
organic products are gathered as close as conceivable to the time they are eaten, For the
fresh market, most tree and bramble organic products are still collected by hand and for
preparing, drying, and at times for new market, mechanical engine driven tree and shrub
shakers with proper getting belts, receptacles, beds, and electric lifts decrease gathering
and dealing with work. Natural products are stuffed by government-controlled
evaluations, for example, Fancy or Extra Fancy inside given size points of confinement
and are so named on the container or box, together with the source (N.F, Childers, July
1999).
2.2 National Literature Review
With regards to environmental change, the measure of precipitation and its
conveyance is changing in Germany. This directly affects the fleeting and local
accessibility of water and Changed precipitation prompts vacillations in soil water and
groundwater levels. Subsequently, the dirt quality and efficiency of rural land are
influenced. On the off chance that the temperatures ascend simultaneously, the
