Agriculture is a cornerstone of the Italian economy, and every year, thousands of opportunities open up for seasonal workers to harvest fruit and vegetables. However, finding legal work is essential to ensure you are paid fairly and protected by Italian law.

If you have a valid residence permit and are looking for a job that lasts a few months, here is how to find verified opportunities and avoid exploitation.

How to Search Locally

To find specific jobs in your immediate area (e.g., Tuscany, Puglia, or Sicily), use the following search terms on Google:

• Lavoro agricolo + [Name of your City]
• Raccolta frutta + [Name of your Region]

Note: Many companies will hire you even if you have no prior experience in agriculture.

Warning: Protect Yourself from Exploitation

In Italy, working without a contract (lavoro nero) is illegal and leaves you without insurance or wage protection. Always demand a written contract.

If you are offered a job without a contract or if your employer does not respect the terms, contact these unions immediately:

• FLAI-CGIL: Specialist defenders of agri-food workers.
• CISL & UILA: National unions providing local support in every region.
• Progetto Diritti: Legal assistance in Lazio and Sicilia.
