The red fruit-producing area of Huelva (in the region of Andalusia, Spain) is an agro-industrial enclave that has undergone great development in the last decades.
Its success is based on special natural conditions that allow for extra early production, and on a highly technical, labor-intensive, and energy-intensive way of cultivation. This has made it Europe’s leading red fruit producer and one of the most important producers in the world.
This export agro-industry has generated considerable wealth, but also great problems, both environmental and related to the socio-labour abuse (among others) by working people of the sector. In this research paper, our partner Andalucia Acoge highlights these social and environmental costs in the Spanish red fruit production.
