Those working in fields such as the one in Wiltshire can expect to earn PS30 an hour, or about PS62,000 a year. This salary is for a full-time employee, so if you want to earn this much, you will have to work long hours.
In the UK, the fruit and vegetable industry needs as many as 500,000 workers to keep the industry running. Brexit and pandemic have caused a huge shortage of workers and some farms have even started paying up to PS20 an hour.
