Trabajar en Tiempos De Covid. Fricciones De Lo Esencial en La Producción Alimentaria. El Caso De Los Frutos Rojos en La Provincia De Huelva.

The pandemic caused by Covid-19 is generating a state of emergency in which, for the first time, a series of professions and professionals are considered key workers. This is the case of the food sector and the different people and spaces it encompasses. In Andalusia, the declaration of lockdown coincided with one of the agricultural campaigns that best illustrates the functioning of the agri-food industry today: berry growing season. This article shows how the classification of this work as essential by the Government during the first period of lockdown did not translate into appropriate improvements in the socio-labor conditions of workers in this sector. Following a qualitative ethnographic methodology based on in-depth interviews with agricultural workers, the article analyzes the contrasts that emerged between the classification of this activity as essential and the real circumstances that prevailed during the work carried out.
