Românca points out that employment is done by the hour, as is often practiced in agriculture. The only essential requirement is that people have valid documents to be able to sign the legal contract, regardless of their nationality or origin.
According to the announcement, the job offer is for a large pistachio farm in Albacete, where, according to the person presented, “another 200 hectares need to be planted.” This volume requires a large number of employees for several months.

Currently, only three people manage the entire farm, and the main activity is shaping the crown of the trees at a height of about 90 centimeters from the ground, to improve the quality of the fruit and optimize the production.

Andreea estimates that the seasonal work will take about four months and a considerable number of employees are needed to cover the workload.
According to the cited publication, the situation reflects an increasingly acute problem in the Spanish agricultural sector: the difficulty of filling available jobs. According to the Public Employment Service (SEPE), the primary sector faces a major discrepancy between demand and supply, caused by the aging of the population and the lack of attractiveness of agricultural jobs for young people.
Spanish agriculture is becoming increasingly dependent on foreign workers. The sector is the second largest employer of immigrants, with around 250,000 foreign workers, according to data from the Ministry of Inclusion.
