In Brazil, farm workers represent a significant portion of the agricultural labor force, particularly in regions dedicated to sugarcane, coffee, and soybean production. The term 'trabalhador agrícola' is used formally in legal and employment contexts, while 'colono' carries historical weight referring to tenant farmers or agricultural laborers. Farm work is often seasonal and can involve migrant workers; this reality is central to Brazilian agricultural economics and labor rights discussions.
