child labor in the fields, working on the plantations.
Nearly 70 percent of child laborers, or some 170 million, work in agriculture, fishing, forestry and hunting. Only 1 to 2 percent of child laborers work in export-oriented agriculture. Child agricultural workers frequently work for long hours in scorching heat, haul heavy loads of produce, are exposed to toxic pesticides, and suffer high rates of injury from sharp knives and other dangerous tools.
