It takes between 3 and 3.5 kilos of French plums to make one kilo of Agen prunes. Picking is ... done entirely by hand. First, the plum trees are "shaken" and the fruit falls into nets held under the trees, ready for collection. ... The plums are carefully washed, then sorted and sized. Drying is carried out in three stages, to permit a "gentle" dehydration, in special chambers or continuous-drying tunnels. By the end of the drying process, the plums have transformed into prunes, with a humidity level of between 21 and 23%.
