Harvest labour coordination in Kenya
Coordinate harvest workers for agreed field tasks.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional coordination-only harvest job: recruit and schedule six competent adult workers for one eight-hour day on customer-owned tomatoes, supervised by the farm's trained harvest supervisor. Deliver attendance, hours, accepted-crate counts and exception records. The farm directly pays agreed lawful wages and provides approved tools, water, welfare facilities and safety arrangements; the coordinator charges a separate disclosed fee and does not promise crop output.
Who is the first customer?
Growers facing short harvest windows.
