The fruit and vegetables that are readily available to us at our local supermarkets don't suddenly appear with out the blood, sweat and tears of seasonal farm workers.

And now it's been revealed that some are being exploited.

Because fruit picking is not Australia's most sought after career, many of these workers are flown in from foreign countries on a temporary 416 visa.

But now it has been revealed that many of these workers are taking home less than $10 a week for their efforts.

ABC's 730 program on Thursday night claimed AFS contracting Pty Ltd, which operates out of Shepparton, Victoria, was paying its employees next to nothing after huge deductions from their pay.

Some of the were charged $120 a week for rent to live with two other adults in a small caravan - some even have to share beds.

After being charged superannuation, health insurance, rent and a fairly hefty price for a bus that transports them to the farm at the crack of down, there isn't much left over.

Daily Mail contacted the owner of AFS contracting, Tony Yamankol, but he did not return our calls.

Mr Yamankol has posted photos to his Facebook page of him in front of expensive cars and of holidays to Turkey.

The main issue surrounds a contract that workers signed before they moved to Australia.

On a technicality that many overlooked - a clause stipulates that they would be paid depending on the amount of bins they can fill with tomatoes in a shift. The Fijian workers claim the pace is unrealistic and not feasible.

Daily Mail Australia also contacted the Fair Work Obudsman for comment.

For many Pacific Islanders, it's not a lifelong dream to move away from home and pick fruit all day under a blistering Australian sun, but more so a necessity.

They do it in hope of making enough money to send a cheque back home to take care of their families.

But Vasiti Savunicava from Fiji said the reverse is happening: 'Instead of that, they sending money for me. So they're looking after me again.'

Another worker, Isikeli Fifita, also felt disappointed about the sacrifice he had made: 'I feel sad because there's no money to send to my family in Tonga.'

Thousands of Pacific Islanders come to Australia every year to do seasonal work.

Most farmers do the right thing by their employees, but now this story has been exposed many others may be deterred from coming to work here.

Warnings have now been shared with tens of thousands of people on a Fijian forum which discusses fruit picking in Australia.
