Harvest of sugarcane is the season of paying the debts and meeting our needs, said Abdel Rahman Eryan, a 23-year-old farm worker.
Heading to one of the harvesting lands in Upper Egypt s province of Qena where most of the country s sugarcane crops are cultivated, Eryan said most of the young people in his village are eager for this occasion because it is their main source of earnings from January to May.
He routinely works for eight hours from early morning and makes 100 Egyptian pounds (6.4 U.S. dollars) on a daily basis.
