Blueberry harvest in Sweden

[Jamt]

Commercial blueberry harvest in Sweden is done by Thais, Vietnamese, Poles and Belorussians. To the pleasure of the industrial jam industry. The amount of lies in all this is staggering. First the Thais are supposedly supermen that can roam the forests picking twice that of white people because they are used to bending at rise-harvest. Then the same yellows are not capable to pay for plain-ticket back and they are cold and miserable and mosquito bitten and ripped off by agencies and every year hundreds of them require Swedish taxpayers to help them home. The Poles all manage to make a profit and will not complain.

It is true that Swedes will not pick mushrooms or blueberries to sell. But I say fuck the food industry and ban foreigners (except for tourists) in our forests. So what if there is no blueberry-jam on shelves and for export, It would lead to more self sufficient picking by Swedes and a tripling of the price paid by jam factories and seasonal incomes to unemployed rural Swedes.

Also fuck the food industry for poisoning jam with sugar and chemicals.

The exact same thing is going on in Finland... And the usual suspects (globalists, media) are defending this inverted China Phenomenon on the grounds of allemansrätten, among others.

I agree, get the unemployed to do that sort of work. I saw a video today as part of state propaganda (ahem, college education...) about encouraging minorities into the countryside.
It seems the liberal-minded fools want to take our last stronghold, the mainly European and mostly minority-free countryside. Typical Multiculturalist agenda.

I saw a programme once that claimed all Swedes still go into the forest to pick Lingonberries and catch fish, an idyllic idea but I doubted it very much. I wish such a idea would happen more often in Britain, occasionally I see some people doing it but its mostly in their gardens, I've never really seen many people go into the woods to pick berries or mushrooms.

Jamt, isn't it better for the Swedish economy that someone actually picks those berries so they can be turned into money and foodproducts instead of going to waste?
What is the problem really? Jealous about some ricefarmers making a sideincome?
Some of those people are actually fooled by dishonest Swedes, you forgot to mention that.

celtabria, a lot of Swedes still do that but mostly for their own need. A basket of lingonberries does not end up with the food industry, you see.

If you were an unemployed engineer, would you let yourself be forced into the forrest to pick berries?

I didn't think so.

They are not. It's the foodindustry that needs the berries so someone has to go out there so that you can buy cordial and frozen blueberry pie at Ica or K-kauppa.
Besides, this summer I was very happy to buy blueberries on the streetmarket from a nice and cute Thaigirl.
Need and demand met. What's wrong with that?

What's wrong with using under-paid, foreign semi-slave labour for picking industrial quantities of free berries?

As long as they're good looking chinks, it should be alright.

Yes of course I see that, I hardly see it as any large industry but I just think they could get people to do jobs such as fruit picking on small farms. Lingonberries grow mainly in the forests I gather but you could have people picking them to sell at markets, at least it would give them something to do.

Probably not, but I should have been more specific, I meant the unemployed who won't work even in the so-called "good times".

Your on a preservationist board man, not Asia Finest.
