coffee picker
Cherry harvest laborer
A coffee picker is a person who harvests coffee cherries from trees, typically by hand-selecting ripe fruit during harvest season.
Coffee picking remains labor-intensive work, often seasonal and low-paid, performed on plantations in tropical regions.
The term also applies to mechanical harvesters used on flat terrain: The farm replaced hand labor with a coffee picker that strips entire branches.
