I used to make 20 Euros a day harvesting olives by hand in southern Italy a few years back, not really my idea of well paid. But I did see a lot of unharvested

  it was 60-90 / day in greece last year , probably even higher this year due to lack of workers and the high price of oil This is definitely an area where robotics and AI would be very useful

    Aren't there already mechanical tree shakers that harvest olives fairly efficiently?

  20 Euro a day? Wow. Did you work two hours per day? Why not work at McDonalds or Sigma supermarkets at that point? Or were there other factors at play (family farm, horticulture education, non-euro remuneration etc)
