Aragonese agricultural organizations applaud the regularization of immigrants to cover the up to 25,000 jobs generated by fruit harvesting campaigns. National workers show no interest in these tasks, so the measure guarantees food production and prevents shortages. Additionally, it provides labor security for immigrants, sustaining the rural economy and the fruit supply.
Drones and GPS optimize logistics in the fields of Aragon 🚜
Technology has become an ally in the Aragonese countryside. Agricultural companies already use drones to monitor fruit ripening and GPS systems to coordinate seasonal workers' routes between farms. This allows precise harvesting planning, reducing losses and adjusting work shifts. However, the lack of labor remains the bottleneck, and regularization aims precisely to plug that hole so that the machinery does not stop.
Fruit without pickers: the drama no one wants to see (or work) 🍑
While on social media many clamor for the Spanish countryside, it turns out that fruit rots because no one from home wants to get up early to pick it. Desperate farmers have had to resort to regularizing immigrants so that the harvest does not become an autumn decoration. In the end, the only greater drama than seeing fruit on the tree is having to explain that without hands, not even the best tractor is worth anything.
