Lack of migrant workers left food rotting in UK fields last year, data reveals
Exclusive: Brexit fears and falling pound left fruit and vegetable farms short of more than 4,000 workers, with senior MPs warning of a crisis
Fruit and vegetable farms across the UK were left short of thousands of migrant workers in 2017, leaving some produce to rot in the fields and farmers suffering big losses.
More than 4,300 vacancies went unfilled, according to new survey data from the National Farmers Union (NFU), which covers about half the horticultural labour market. The survey, seen exclusively by the Guardian, shows more than 99% of the seasonal workers recruited came from eastern Europe, with just 0.6% from the UK.
Since the vote to leave the European Union in 2016, growers have warned repeatedly of damaging labour shortages, with recruiters reporting that Brexit has created the perception among foreign workers that the UK is xenophobic and racist.
The government, which has pledged to reduce immigration, has so far rejected calls to reinstate a seasonal agricultural workers scheme (Saws). Facing uncertainty over labour, some farmers have begun moving their production overseas.

The UK has one chance left to save itself- a referendum to scrap ' Brexit '.
Those that want a Mexican wall- take heed.

Europe envies the UK the way the world envies America.

The UK pound crashed- businesses are leaving in droves- Irish terrorists are propping up a UK minority government- the Irish border issue is insoluble - prices are rising- the world knows that the UK is DESPERATE for trading partners- and all the British public have to look forward to is the stripping of their human rights and the ingestion of chlorinated American chicken and antibiotic-soaked beef.
Maggot, on the other hand, is attempting to sell his hazy era of Cockneys taking working holidays in the hop-fields of Kent.
Referendum 2 makes him shudder.

I see that you are truly ignorant on yet another issue. At least the BBC knows the truth even if they pretend otherwise.
As for the border, why is it any different to the extremely long border between Sweden and Norway? Or indeed, the even longer border between Canada and the USA.

Anybody that maggot terms ' truly ignorant' has almost certainly got at least one post-graduate degree and a wide-ranging general knowledge which shames his own.
