Over 2,000 Moroccan workers enrolled in Spain's next agricultural campaign

Some 2,500 agricultural workers will head for the Spanish region of Huelva (south-west) for the forthcoming agricultural campaign part of a joint job placement program, launched here Monday.

    The job placement program provides for selecting 2,500 female workers who will work in Huelva for two months, CEO of the national agency for the promotion of employment and skills (ANAPEC) told the press.

    The selected workers will be paid euro 34 a day and will be housed by employers, Mr.Hafid Kamal explained, noting that the ANAPEC plans to ink more global outline agreements with the Spanish region of Catalonia.

    The program of seasonal migration management between Morocco and Huelva, which started in 2004, concerns female candidates aged between 18 and 40 and living in the countryside.

    It aims among other things to set up an efficient system for seasonal migration management and an efficient tool to fight illegal migration, a source of abusive exploitation against illegal laborers.
