ABC News (Australia) published this video item, entitled “Backpacker shortage threatens 60pc spike in fruit and vegetable costs | ABC News” – below is their description.
International backpackers on working holiday and student visas are heading home, and there is no chance of them being replaced due to Australia’s closed borders. Foreigners make up about 80 per cent of Australia’s horticultural workforce and without that workforce able to enter the country, crops risk being left to rot in the fields.
