The Committee notes the Government’s report and its response to the International Trade Union Confederation’s (ITUC) 2010 comments.

The Committee notes the ITUC’s communications of 4 August 2011 and 31 July 2012. The Committee requests the Government to send its observations on these comments. The Committee notes that a study on identifying obstacles faced by trade unions organizing in farms has been commissioned by the Government, and that another study on facilitating unionization of farm workers has been conducted by the ILO. The Government hopes that these studies will help improve collective bargaining in the agricultural sector. The Committee welcomes this information and requests to provide information on developments in this regard.
