PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a constant-number ejecting device which incorporates a plurality of accumulating lanes without increasing the size of the device, and ejects a given number of nodular agricultural products, such as kumquat fruit, at every cycle of ejection. SOLUTION: Kumquat fruit 1 transferred on a shaker conveyor 14 are sent into a plurality of accumulating lanes 23 provided on a tilting platform 11 in a tilted position. The head kumquat fruit 1 sent into the reserving lane 23 abuts on a stopper 31 attached to a hopper 30, which causes the following kumquat fruit 1 to accumulate. When an air cylinder unit 27 is driven to further tilt the tilting platform 11, a shutter 32 provided at the rear end of the tilting platform 11 blocks the transfer front end of the conveyor 14, and at the same time, the front kumquat fruit 1 comes off the stopper 31 to cause all the accumulated kumquat fruits 1 to drop and discharged.
