A Herefordshire farmer says without migrants, she can barely recruit 10% of the workers she needs.
By James PearsonA call by the home secretary to limit dependence on migrant workers was "impossible", a farmer said.
Mrs Snell said her farm. Wind Hill, hires about 300 seasonal workers from all over the world each year, for six months. "We tried very hard in the pandemic to recruit locally. Out of the 300 we need, we were able to recruit about 35," Mrs Snell said., made worse by the pandemic, and a campaign to recruit more UK-based workers for seasonal farm roles was scrapped in 2021.in 2022 found British workers were "not strongly attracted to roles in the food supply chain, particularly seasonal work".
Ms Braverman said the UK needed to be "less dependent on low-skilled foreign labour" but her speech divided politicians."I don't see why we should be trying to persuade [kids] to do low-productivity, less aspirational jobs like fruit picking when they want to do better things," he added.Mrs Snell grows strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and redcurrants for supermarkets
