We are Recruiting Fruit Pickers For European Countries : Fruit pickers need to work fast and efficiently, ensuring the correct size of fruit is picked and avoidance of the bruised and damaged crops.   Responsibilities: Harvesting fruits is not like any other. It involves quite a skill, as shown below; Grasping, twisting and pulling fruits from the plants (trees). Sniping the stems of the trees. Shaking trees to ensure that the fruits are separated from the plants. Putting the fruits into bags, baskets, buckets, trays, or other items used to gather the fruits. In a bid to ease the harvesting process, fruit pickers may decide to embark on. Standing on ladders or any raised platform to easily pick the fruits. Crawling along rows of the fruit farm to reach the fruits they want. Stooping over the trees or plants to access the fruits. Position handheld vibrating devices against branches of bushes to shake fruits that are ready from the branches.    Requirements and Skills : The core duty of fruit pickers is to harvest, sort and gather fruits using their hands or tools designed for the task. Fruit pickers pluck fruits from the trees. They then do the sorting before picking the fruits in baskets or any other container suitable for gathering them.  They are also responsible for sorting good fruits from damaged and contaminated ones. This is aimed at having appropriate products for distribution to various marketplaces and factories.  It is also the fruit pickers’ responsibility to ensure that they inspect fruits to establish if there are any that have signs of disease, effects of pests and rot. Once they identify fruits affected by the above, the fruit pickers then sort them out of the good ones.   They also have the responsibility of dumping the harvested fruits from containers onto trucks, especially during the transportation of the fruits from the farms to the market.   Salary : Average Salary of Fruit Pickers is 27.963 € (EUR)/yr An entry level fruit picker (1-3 years of experience) earns an average salary of 27.963 €.

Orchard management isn’t just a job, nor is it really just a career, it’s a way of life. You live it, you breathe, and it consumes you whole. Managing orchards definitely isn’t the easiest work I’ve ever done, but I do feel it down to my core. You’re the first one onsite every morning, the last one to leave each night, you tend and care for your clients orchards as if they were your own. When you’re not working alongside staff on the orchard, there’s timesheets, invoices, spray diary entries, GAP, tracking budgets, ensuring targets are being met, all while motivating an entire team of people and yourself. I haven’t experienced a season yet where blood, sweat and tears weren’t shed in the making of a crop. Managing orchards gives me a fire in my belly that I can’t quite explain. It’s an addiction to do better and to be better as each season goes by. It forces you to learn and adapt and sometimes question everything you think you know about growing. It’s a competition against yourself and those around you to grow the best quality crop, achieve the lowest reject rates, achieve the highest TZG, earn your growers the best possible OGR’s, and to be the best manager there is. Not long to go now till I get to see my beauties in a box 🥝 #Trevelyans #Trevelyansmanagedorchards #orchardmanagement #kiwifruit

Do you know which one is the best fruit? According to my experience, the ones I’m picking in my garden. Let me tell you why.   1, I can pick them when they are fully ripened, reaching the maximum taste and sweetness. The ones you buy in the shops cannot reach this phase, they must be harvested earlier, so they can survive the long transportation and storage process.    2, There are fruits you cannot really buy in shops, because they are very sensitive. Once they are ripened, they easily fall and quickly rot, so the windows to pick and eat is very small, usually only a few hours. One example is the black mulberry (see the photo), just managed to collect some today before falling or being eaten by the birds. It is a very healthy fruit, but you can rarely see in shops.    3, As I’m not using artificial fertilizers and chemicals, these fruits are healthy, not poisoned. They contain no fungicides or pesticides.   4, The carbon footprint is very low, as there is no need to pack, store and transport. We pick when it is ripened, eating freshly, preparing jam, drying, or preparing fresh juice.    5, Gardening is very good for my health, both physically and mentally. It's a kind of cross-training/core exercise which is a good help to achieve my running goals.    I’m not saying that gardening is just fun, it is relatively hard work and there are plenty of risks, especially as the weather is very unpredictable, so you must do it intelligently, and also prepare for all kinds of scenarios, ensure good diversity, because one year you might have great plum or apple but no apricot, next year the opposite, so I have about 20 different species of fruits, and also selecting different kind of them, one is early, one is late, one is frost-tolerant, etc.    If you would like to learn more, please feel free to contact me. I will be happy to share my experience.

The interim report from the independent review into the Food and Grocery Code of Conduct, released on Monday, has recommended making the voluntary code mandatory – and that the major supermarkets should face significant fines of up to 10 per cent of their profits for breaches. But it has also prompted calls to broaden the code to hardware and garden centre giant Bunnings. The review, led by former Labor minister Craig Emerson, acknowledged concerns about an imbalance of market power in the greenlife sector (plants, flowers and gardening goods) in Bunnings’ favour. It noted that such products were part of the code of conduct. But it emphasised the code was designed to deal with issues specific to the supermarket industry. It warned there could be unintended consequences if it was broadened to other retailers. Instead, the interim report suggested Greenlife Industry Australia (GIA) – one of the biggest advocates for extending the code to Bunnings – should work with the retailer and suppliers to develop their own code of conduct. Confusion over Bunnings’ verdict GIA CEO Joanna Cave said although the report demonstrated a good understanding of the power imbalance between growers and retailers, the idea of new voluntary rules for Bunnings was puzzling. “The report acknowledges that the current supermarket code is ineffective, largely because it is voluntary,” she said. “We struggle to understand how creating a new voluntary code would improve things for greenlife growers.” The National Farmers Federation Horticulture Council said Bunnings could be getting away with market power abuse scot-free. “As a virtual monopoly in the ornamental plant market, Bunnings needs to be included in the code to cover its dealings with plant nurseries,” council chair Jolyon Burnett said. “The issues faced by this sector are identical to the challenges faced by fruit and vegetable growers. “It cannot be given a free pass.” Bunnings defends relationship with growers GIA alleges Bunnings holds a near-monopoly of the greenlife sector with a 70 per cent market share; Bunnings claims the figure is less than 30 per cent. Cave previously told The New Daily Bunnings abused its influence by not committing to buying specific volumes of plants, keeping prices down despite rising production costs, and pressuring growers to use costlier freight arrangements and pots. Bunnings managing director Mike Schneider told The New Daily the characteristics of the hardware giant industry were diverse and “structurally different” to other sectors, including supermarkets.

May the best tree prevail. 🙋♀️ On a recent visit to Dehradun, I toured a friend’s fruit orchard. I was struck by the similarities between an orchard and a firm. 🌳💵 🍂 The trees represent employees 🍂 The caretakers symbolize management 🍂 No matter how skilled the caretaker is, they cannot produce the fruits themselves 🍂Their primary role is to provide the best conditions and inputs for the trees (old and new) to deliver. I saw intriguing patterns and practices and asked the caretakers questions to gauge if they knew the reasons behind their actions. Unsurprisingly, they had a deep knowledge of managing the orchard, and a clear trend emerged with each answer👇 An orchard, like a firm, cannot thrive without meritocracy. ♠ 🍀At the nursery, the gardeners were busy preparing saplings. I asked why they were working on young plants. They explained, “To ensure availability of new plants (new hires) to be planted at new pieces of land or to replace old/ uprooted trees (retirements/ attrition).” 🪜Learning: Create a conveyor belt of talent to fill new roles and replace exits to ensure business continuity and growth. 🍀Young plants were being planted, spaced appropriately from each other and the mature trees. I inquired why these small plants were given as much space as the larger ones. The head gardener explained that while saplings could manage in smaller spaces, they need adequate room to grow into big, fruit-bearing trees. 👩💻Learning: Provide space & resources for new team members to develop. Otherwise, no new talent would be able to survive long enough to deliver. 🍀I also noticed some trees with multiple workers tending to them. When I asked why, a gardener explained that these were the best trees in the orchard, producing the highest quality & quantity of fruit, hence the extra care. He remarked, “One can’t treat a donkey and a stallion the same.” 🥇Learning: Treat your team based on merit. If you don't treat your best people well, some other firm will. Period! 🍀Then I saw a large tree being chopped down. Confused, I looked at the gardener, and he explained. “This tree was being removed as it never delivered a good yield, despite the best inputs. It would be replaced by one of the saplings”. I asked why, since the saplings wouldn’t produce fruit for a few years, while this tree still could. The gardener replied that the saplings would produce more soon enough, but this tree never will. “We cannot cling to a tree just because it’s been in the orchard for many years; otherwise, there will never be space for new, more productive plants”, he said. ❌Learning: Don’t artificially prop up underperforming team members just because of tenure/ investment. If you do, there will never be space for new talent that can deliver. The management at my friend’s orchard is clear. Do we, in our corporate orchards, have the same clarity? 🤷♀️ #workplaceculture #meritocracy #linkedin #linkedincreator

Where are my fellow allotment-ers and home growers? At 7am this morning I was at my allotment watering. Yup! The Summer has finally arrived in my neck of the woods. Our many plants needed a drink to start their day. And this time last year out allotment didn’t look like an allotment. It was a field full of weeds. Weeds taller than me. (Okay I'm 5ft on a good day but they were biiiiig!) For 20+ years it had been used as a dumping ground and hadn’t seen a spade let alone a packet of seeds. We had our work cut out for us that’s for sure. And now it’s taking shape. We have a greenhouse with tomatoes and cucumbers. And we’re growing beetroot, broccoli, cabbages, cauliflowers, garlic, gooseberries, red onions, white onions, lettuce, blackcurrants, courgettes, potatoes, strawberries, raspberries, beans and turnips (soooooo many turnips but that’s a post for another day). I’ve probably missed something out. 🍅 Home grown tastes sooo good. We don’t use any chemicals or pesticides. We collect rainwater as there’s no water at the allotment. Air miles are miniscule. AND I love to share what we grow with family, friends and neighbours. 🤷♀️ Did I ever have days where I wondered why the blinky-heck I’d signed up for an allotment when we have a small and manageable vegetable patch in the back garden? Abso-blinking-lutely! In fact, taking on the allotment felt like starting a business. All those big dreams at the beginning. Bucketloads of motivation to crack on and make it happen. So much excitement! So many folks offering their help and advice. And many a time feeling overwhelmed and wondering what possessed me to think we could make a go of this. An allotment, like a business, doesn’t happen overnight. There’s no magic wand. It takes work. It takes asking for help. And it takes patience. 🌱 Do you grow your own? Let me know what’s sprouting in your garden or allotment and perhaps we can share tips and ideas. ***** If your business isn’t growing the way you’d hoped and you’d love some support to help you do better marketing, get in touch. I’d love to help you grow a business you love. DM me and let's chat.

How it's going: Day 3 of living on a CA's food budget My past labour is reaping benefits now. It feels a little bit like cheating, but it's really something that anyone can do. My main de-stressing activity is gardening, so my garden is a reflection of how stressful a legal career can be! I especially love plants that work as hard as I do. It's incredible how a simple act, like throwing a handful of coriander seeds on the ground, results in a massive crop of fresh coriander herbs. Supper last night was supplemented by spring onions, coriander, chilli and ginger from my garden. How many of you supplement your food budget with homegrown herbs, veggies or fruit? You don't even need a garden to do this, you can simply use containers indoors. In the same way, the many small steps we take early in our careers, reap benefits later. What steps are you taking today to set you up for success later? Are you developing your network? Are you attending workshops and training courses to increase your knowledge? Are you making the most of opportunities to gain practical experience in your area of interest? Are you submitting articles for publication or abstracts for conferences? Take one small step today that your future self will thank you for.

Today's takeover comes from me, Courtney Orrell, I'm one of the Customer Experience Leads here at Reed Screening.   Since the start of 2024 I have felt the impact of the weather on my mental health, and if you have felt the same, you’ll have begun to feel an improvement at the start of spring, rejoiced when the clocks went back (something I’ve always complained about previously) and have taken every opportunity to take advantage of the lighter evenings.    I’m an avid gardener, so I’ve channelled my energy into preparing my garden for summer where I will be growing various varieties of fruit and vegetables. My passion for gardening comes from the anticipation of watching something blossom into something tasty or pretty, and the satisfaction of nurturing that growth.    If you’d like to give growing a go, I’ve put a list together of three rewarding plants you’ll be able to successfully grow, with minimal effort in a small space.    Have you ever tried keeping alive supermarket herbs? You may often struggle if you buy these outright as they often come densely packed, meaning each plant is fighting for water and nutrients from the soil. By separating these plants and potting them further apart from one another, you’ll increase the survivability of them, benefit from the sheer volume of herbs you’ll have and they will be easier to maintain as they won’t need watering every day!    Not everyone likes tomatoes, but they are one of the easier fruits to grow as they require minimal space and will produce fruit in a constant supply until the end of summer. They are resilient and even if you are a bit late to water them, they will often bounce back. Home grown crops are often extra tasty, but tomatoes are one of the more notable ones, and you will have plenty to share.    Peas are a wonderful summertime snack that will fill you with a child-like delight when you pop open your first pea pod. They can be grown just like tomatoes, in a pot with a trellis and are easy to maintain with a rather small footprint. You can start by growing them indoors and move them outside, or if you sow them in late spring or early summer you can sow them directly outside as it will be warm enough.    All three of these are on my growing list this year, alongside various types of chillies after an unsuccessful year with those last year. #reedscreening #insights #takeover #lifeatreed #backgroundscreening #pioneeringhiring

Sold out in minutes! 🚜This small family farm can teach machine shops some lessons how to advertise better. Here in most small towns in middle #Georgia we have some great Farmers Markets where you can get everything from fresh vegetables to locally raised & butchered meats, honey, duck eggs, and more. The vast majority of them completely sell out before the close of the market, some like my favorite 🍅 tomato farm within the FIRST HOUR! Same for the lady who sells duck eggs too. 🥚🦆 Same for the husband & wife team that sells hydroponic lettuces too. 🥬 No joke, slammed with customers waiting, then sold out! Word about their products had quickly spread through word of mouth and then to their various social media pages. None of them ever bought any #advertising. Several don't even have websites. Just their instagram, or some have a super simple 1 page website 😮 And their #sales just keeps going up to the moon. 📈🚀🌛 Many restaurant groups out of Atlanta and Savannah and Macon started buying regular, weekly large quantities of their farmed goods and feature them prominently on their menus. Most of the small farms had to start taking "pre orders" in advance and if your name isn't on the list come Saturday morning... well then you ain't getting no 'maters or eggs 🤓 I noticed all of these super successful small farms share some common #marketing tactics. Unlike most machine shops, none of these small business talk about their machines or list their farming equipment. None of these small farmers mention their skills either. And strangely, most of them don't even highlight their specific crops ⁉️ But what they DO advertise is.... How or what or why the end customer uses their product, often in a variety of ways 😋 Our tomato farm will often makes sandwiches (with Duke's mayo of course, duh!) and other snacks with tomatoes for samples at the markets. Then they focus on the END USER EXPERIENCE by showing customer. They take pictures and video of actual people eating a sandwich and saying things like: "good lawwwd have mercy, this is the most amazing, juiciest 'mater sandwich in my life"🤠🙌😋 Or a picture of one of their chef customers chopping their tomatoes and using it in a recipe at their restaurant. Again, not one of them ever advertised about their fancy tractors... the specifications or capabilities. Don't get me wrong... they'll be happy to talk your ear off about their farm, methods, and all the things they do that makes them unique and special vs other products you can buy cheaper in the grocery store. But all those geeky tech details come AFTER someone is HOOKED. Those tech discussions further solidy and give credibility, but they are never leading conversations... usually last actually. 💡⚙️ TAKEAWAY 👉 I see soooo many machine shops who are very capable, but always talk about their machines or "we have turning capacity" as their sales pitch. 🤔Hmmmm... What might #machineshops do differently?
