Wearing a wide-brimmed straw sun hat and a checked blue and white shirt, the worker moves methodically through the meticulously trellised crop, selecting only the most perfect, sun-ripened fruits. The rich terracotta soil beneath speaks of careful cultivation, with neat rows of plants supported by sturdy metal stakes stretching across the landscape. Midday sunlight bathes the scene in warm golden tones, highlighting the verdant foliage and the worker's practiced movements - a testament to the careful hand-harvesting techniques used in premium produce cultivation.
