英國缺乏勞動力 農場以時薪$310請人摘水仙
21 Dec 2021

 

英國因脫歐收緊移民政策，歐盟勞工紛紛離開英國，加上疫情衝擊，當地十分缺乏勞動力，波及英國水仙花農，預計今年春天將有多達75%的水仙花無法採收。花農坦言至今仍無法招募足夠的工人，水仙花產業恐會崩潰。

 

 

《衞報》報道，英格蘭西南區域康沃爾郡是水仙花主要產地，全球80%水仙花都來自於此，總產值高達1億英鎊（約10.34億港元）。水仙花每年1月初開始採收，大約需要2,500名勞工，才能採摘超過10億顆水仙花。

採收水仙的勞工大多來自東歐，在脫歐及疫情打擊下，該批勞工離開了英國，直接衝擊水仙花的採收工作。英國一家最大的農場Varfell Farms提到，即使想請當地人工作，「我們目前只有3至4名本地採收工人，但如今我們需要60人。」

Varfell Farms提到工人最高時薪可高達30英鎊（約310港元），去年只得14英鎊（約145港元），但需要全天候在室外工作，難以吸引到人應徵，加上農田位置偏僻，工人需要居於當地，也加大了招聘難度。

 

報道指出，花農預計因缺工嚴重，今年春天將有多達75%的水仙花恐無法採收，數百萬株水仙花將在田間腐爛。花農抱怨，許多種植面積較小的花農已計畫放棄種植水仙花，「如果我們無法招募更多工人，水仙花產業恐會崩潰」。
