A report by the Council of Europe's Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings (Grupo de Peritos sobre a Ação contra o Tráfico de Seres Humanos or GRETA) warns that migrant workers in the agricultural sector are at high risk of exploitation. Between 2021 and 2024, authorities recorded 690 presumed victims, leading experts to call for stronger labor inspections and better victim support.
