The Government has made no estimate of the number of seasonal workers working in Scotland by labour provider as of 1 August 2022, nor do we plan to make an estimate of the number of farms in Scotland with workers employed on the seasonal worker visa scheme; and the number of farms in Scotland with each labour provider.
