The Swedish berry industry is undergoing significant changes due to recent legal actions and regulatory adjustments.

Two berry entrepreneurs were convicted of exploiting Thai berry pickers, leading to stricter regulations and fewer foreign workers this year.

This has resulted in a surge in berry prices, creating lucrative opportunities for private individuals who can earn thousands per day by selling berries.

Despite improved wages, many Thai workers continue to work on their rest days, selling berries to their employers.

The situation highlights ongoing challenges in ensuring ethical labor practices while balancing economic interests.

As a form of resistance against exploitation, some Swedes are choosing to pick their own berries, emphasizing the importance of ethically produced goods.
