Farm Workers in Scottish Agriculture
Notice Description
1. The Scottish Government is seeking to commission a mixed methods research project, which aims to contribute further evidence on the seasonal non-UK workers working in the Scottish agricultural labour market, and build upon previous research published by Scottish Government in 2018. The research should concentrate on the seasonal migrant workers who are employed for around four-five months of the year, corresponding to the key soft fruit harvest period. The specification sets out the aims of the work, and the tasks required of the contractor. It also sets out the management arrangements and timescales.

Lot 1
2. A recent Scottish Government-supported project published in 2021 has investigated the risk of human trafficking within the Scottish agricultural sector. Amongst other findings, the study showed evidence of high risks of labour exploitation within the migrant worker population on Scottish farms. 3. Previous research in 2018, Farm workers in Scottish agriculture: case studies, undertaken by Scotland's Rural College (SRUC), provided an initial understanding of the labour market in Scottish agriculture, and captured the views and experiences of a number of migrant workers at the time. However, since then, there has been no consistent data collection on the agricultural labour market, including numbers and demographics of seasonal migrant workers, and their experiences of living and working in rural Scotland.
