In its previous comments, recalling that all those engaged in agriculture – including those not employed in the organized sector – enjoy the same rights of association and combination as industrial workers, the Committee requested the Government to provide concrete information on the number of existing trade unions in the agricultural sector and the number of collective agreements concluded.

The Committee notes that the Government provides statistics in its report regarding the number of existing trade unions in the agricultural sector (jute: 161; tobacco: 68; sugar: 17; fisheries: 6; rubber: 24; tea: 10) for a total of around 282,000 members. The Committee requests the Government to provide additional information in its next report on the number of collective agreements concluded in the agricultural sector.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
