Filipino grape workers

Filipino grape workers are laborers involved in cultivating, tending, and harvesting grapes, often for export markets like wine production. They typically work in vineyards, performing tasks such as pruning, pest control, and harvesting during peak seasons. These workers may be employed directly by vineyards or through labor contractors. Their roles are vital for the success of grape farming, contributing to the agricultural economy. While some work in developed vineyard regions, others may face seasonal or temporary employment conditions. Their efforts support both local and international markets, showcasing the Philippines' participation in global agricultural trade.
