“…Once approved, the regularization encountered many obstacles in its implementation. Besides sectoral limitations (Campomori and Marchetti, 2020), the other main problems were income requirements for employers, demonstration of presence in Italy before the eighth of March 2020, and the costs of the procedure: employers were charged 500 euros if they wanted to regularise an immigrant worker (plus a still unknown sum for social contributions), and even if they wanted to hire a new one. Employers were then discouraged from hiring irregular immigrants.…”

This paper has two purposes. The first is theoretical: to revise use of the concept of moral economy in migration studies, and the related concept of deservingness. I will identify different versions and meanings, showing their significant contribution to the understanding of migration issues, but discussing their lack of consideration of a particular aspect: the conflict between competing moral economies. The second and related purpose will be to apply the concept of moral economy to an analysis of the public debate on the recent measure, related to theCOVID-19 pandemic, enacted to regularise unauthorised immigrants in Italy (May–August 2020). The measure, almost unique in Europe and in the Global North has involved only workers, and workers employed in two sectors: agriculture and domestic/care services. This decision can be seen as a choice in terms of moral economy: some sectors and some immigrant workers have deserved more consideration than other workers. The empirical material is constituted by declarations and statements by social and political actors who took part in the debate, using moraleconomic arguments to support their position. I will review it through the lens of competing moral economies and different notions of deservingness. In the conclusion I argue that in migration policies, relevant moral and political values are involved: human rights and national sovereignty, the right to mobility and citizens’ rights, the right of asylum and social cohesion. I wish for a more subtle use of the concept of moral economy to feed a better discussion of these crucial topics.

“…This was another tool that explicitly aimed at protecting individual and collective health while giving the possibility of regularisation to workers in agriculture and in the domestic and care sectors. This pool of potential beneficiaries seems to be decided not so much according to the ‘occupational areas in which irregular migrants are more numerous’ but ‘to the sectors where foreign labour seems most useful, or even essential—because it is difficult to replace’ (Campomori & Marchetti 2020, p. 320). In Trentino, as in the rest of Italy, it did not have significant ‘quantitative’ implications for the agricultural sector, having more of an impact in the areas of care and domestic work (Ministero del Lavoro, 2020): Out of the 873 applications received in Trentino, only 26% concerned agriculture and related activities (although this was a higher percentage than the 15% calculated at the national level).…”

The globalisation of Italian agriculture. Transformations of migrant labour composition in agriculture in Trentino

The cultivation of apples is one of the principal economic activities in Trentino, which is responsible for 25% of Italian apple production and 4% of European apple production. The industry is structurally based on migrant work, especially from Eastern European countries in the EU. This model has come up against obstacles due to EU migrant workers redrawing their trajectories: They now tend to remain in their country of origin or move towards central European countries, where they find better wages and working conditions. This is also due to the inadequacy of Italian migration policies, which make it difficult for employers to recruit migrant workers. As a result, employers started to recruit refugees and asylum seekers from countries in the sub‐Saharan and Indian subcontinent who had recently arrived in Trentino. This article analyses these transformations and the trend of ‘refugeeisation’ process of the agricultural workforce, as well as the partial replacement of seasonal workers in Trentino. It then focuses on the impact of the pandemic on international recruitment and on the organisation of the migrant workforce.
