Temporary agricultural workers are affected by diverse vulnerability conditions: job insecurity, seasonality in their tasks, high turnover rates, internal and external migration, and the lack of registry that deprives them from social security. This situation is compounded by the weather contingencies that can threaten the crops and, hence, the revenue.

Based on this vulnerability, we created the Inter-Harvest Programme, which was signed in 2003 in Tucuman to compensate for the income of workers in the sugar industry of the region, and which was then extended.

The programme consists on the allocation of a monthly non-remunerative financial assistance during the seasonal recession of their work, access to educational courses and/or measures and amenities to visit other regions of the nation's territory outside the production season, in order to integrate job positions related to other crops.

The main access requirement is the registry during active months. In this way, the programme, whose essential purpose is to support family income during the seasonal recession, influences the improvement in the registry of workers.
