Well Shepparton and Mooroopna has quite a substantial number if Chinese farm workers. In Safeway, nearly whole Saturday is busy with Chinese farm workers shopping. I haven't really enquired on which specific farm they work, because they generally shun interaction and also due to language barrier.
Also, Shepparton has a substantial Punjabi farming population and I can tell you from experience that the farmers do take inputs from Tatura Agricultural institute but the management to production to packing is all Punjabis. Your comment is significantly false information. Shepparton is filled with people who don't have local know-how, but have developed it.
- pm90 9y agoPunjabis are from India and Pakistan, not from China, if that wasn't clear to you. They have a reputation as good workers in agri businesses. See this article about how they invigorated Italy's cheese business: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/08/world/europe/08iht-italy08.html?mcubz=0 http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/08/world/europe/08iht-italy08... (The article references most workers as being Sikhs. Sikhs are adherents of the religion of Sikhism, but I believe nearly all of them are ethnically Punjabis)
- sfifs 9y agoSounds like you might be unsure whether they are foreign contract workers or immigrants. Punjabis would almost certainly be immigrants
