RICH PICKINGS

摘要

Brillopak director David Jahn highlights the potential crisis for produce, soft fruit and meat packing operations facing a hard Brexit and how automated case loading can help to counteract the loss of EU seasonal labour and curb rising costs. Between May to September each year, more than 28,000 EU workers come to the UK to harvest, process, grade and pack soft fruit alone. The UK meat trade employs almost half of its workforce - 44.4% - from EU countries according to the report released by the Office of National Statistics in July 2017.
