We want cheap fruit and veg, all year. No problem. The pickers deliver, but they are paying the price for us.

THE PICKERS is a journey to European fields where our fruit and vegetables are grown: in Southern Italy, Seydou from Mali is picking oranges. He has no contract and is paid per crate. He lives in a self-built hut in a settlement without water and electricity.  

Blueberries in Portugal, olives in Greece, strawberries in Spain – more than two million migrants work in European fields, most of them without contract or minimum wage, some without papers or with high debts to agents.
