Automation vector
Their work in market gardens and greenhouses involves manual plant care, harvesting of delicate produce, and physical maintenance of facilities. Although harvesting robots are being tested, human manual dexterity for selecting and cutting fruit without damage is still superior and more economical for Spanish farmers. The flexibility to perform multiple simple physical tasks in the garden environment protects the manual laborer's occupation against total mechanization.
