Maidstone (UK), 22 June, EFE/EPA, (Camera: Neil Hall).- A growing number of British workers are turning their hand to fruit and vegetable picking amid a national campaign to salvage a summer harvest jeopardized by coronavirus travel restrictions. Widely-regarded as a strenuous job, with early starts and the ever-unpredictable British weather, manual fruit and vegetable harvesting has in recent years been dominated by migrant workers, many of whom travel from Eastern Europe to work on a seasonal basis. With only a third of those workers expected to make it over this year, the UK government has actively encouraged students and furloughed workers to fill the vacancies.FOOTAGE OF RASPBERRY PICKING IN THE UK AND STATEMENTS BY STEPHEN TAYLOR, MANAGING DIRECTOR OF WINTERWOOD FARMS, AMELIA RAWSTONE, STUDENT AND TEMPORARY WORKER AT THE FARM AND BECKY PAVEY, PHYSIOTHERAPIST AND FARM WORKER
