Florida farm workers got McDonald's to agree to paying a penny per pound extra for tomatoes where the penny was to go directly to the farm workers' wages. This resulted in a 71% increase in farm worker pay. It appears that labor costs are not a significant portion of the price of produce. Of course, this would not apply if automated harvesting had to be replaced by manual labor. https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN0933192520070409 https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN0933192520070409
