coffee pickers

Cherry harvest workers

Coffee pickers are workers who harvest coffee cherries from trees, typically by hand.

The work is seasonal, physically demanding, and often poorly paid, with laborers moving through mountainous terrain selecting ripe cherries.

In coffee-producing regions, pickers are frequently migrant workers or local farmers supplementing income: The farm relies on experienced coffee pickers during harvest season.
