A pilot program this summer has been connecting employers with seasonal farm workers in the Okanagan's orchards and vineyards.
BC Fruit Works has secured 90 branch hands for fruit-harvest jobs and 60 farmers interested in training and adopting technology to maximize profit and minimize food waste.
“BC Fruit Works is part of our government’s Tree Fruit Industry Stabilization initiative as we look at ways to co-ordinate various agencies through an industry labour strategy,” said Minister of Agriculture Lana Popham. BC Fruit Works started back in June with the goal of engaging domestic workers to work as branch hands in Okanagan orchards and vineyards.
