The roles
Agri Labour Australia is responsible for supplying teams across seven tomato and capsicum farms across the Stanthorpe area. Tomato and capsicum-harvesting can be hot and strenuous work – it’s performed in all kinds of weather, and you can work up to to eight-hour days. Some of the jobs include:
- pickers – tomato and capsicum
- bucket-carriers (carrying 15kg buckets of tomatoes).
