Comment on jobs created (domestic)

Permanent workers include accountants, guards, secretaries, drivers, combine harvester operators, rice millers, and supervisors, while casual labourers perform weeding tasks and occasionally paddy harvesting. 270 permanent staff as of May 2015. Allegations of pay below the minimum wage. Casual workers reported lack of proper protective working gear such as gum boots, overalls, gloves, and hats. Some workers complained about skin rashes and body itching–with no access to medical checkups/treatment–due to exposure to various forms of in-field threats (e.g. snake bites) and hazardous agrochemicals.
