Article 5 of the Convention in conjunction with Part V of the report form. The Committee notes the statistical information contained in the Government’s report concerning the overall number of workers employed in the agricultural and fishing sector. Given the specificities of the conditions of employment and working conditions in agriculture, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide sector-specific information on the practical application of the Convention, including for instance statistics on the number of agricultural workers remunerated at the minimum wage rate; extracts from reports of the labour inspection services showing the number of wage-related infringements observed, the sanctions imposed and the sums of wage money recovered through judicial or other means; copies of collective agreements applicable in the agricultural sector setting minimum pay rates; and any other particulars concerning measures to ensure the effective implementation of the provisions of the Convention.

In addition, the Committee refers to the comments made under Convention No. 26.
