That's one way to look at it. Without knowing the country in question, another way to attributively look at it is that this company decided it was cheaper/easier to replace seasonal migrants with robots, rather than pay a decent wage to legal resident workers.
No guarantee thats the case here, but it appears to be a premium product and virtually all commercial fruit picking in the US is done by groups of mostly legal (meaning, work visas) migrants come up from Mexico and work for a few months here, a few months there, and then a few months down here,... basically a consistent 6-8 months picking. And not just one, they bring their whole family and pick as a team.
The packing house that hired them, well they pay the same $5 per lug (basket) whether you picked it all yourself or whether it was the whole family.
Why yes, they ALL have work visas. Wink.
Anyway yeah, one more way jobs are being automated at the very least

This is sincere. Those robots have probably replaced hundreds if not thousands of migrant workers. We're talking pickers, sorters, graders, assuming they arent automating packing and warehousing to some degree. The engineer in me is like "great, stop funding low iq non-citizens", but that enables a greater level of centralization of wealth in corporations, at which point a universal basic income is the only way for an increasingly irrelevant population to sustain it's self. Not that there isnt plenty to be said for a bit of depopulation, not because of overpopulation but because of an overrepresentation of stupidity.
