Morocco, 8€/day. The > only solution for Spain is to automate to compete. Ditch labour. The US has embraced farm automation. Uncle Remus ain't out in the field picking cotton anymore; he's collecting welfare and having mostly peaceful gatherings. The Roma tomato is a good example. It doesn't taste like much but it's been bred to have a squarish shape for more efficient packing and to be tough enough to survive mechanical harvesting. For transport from the fields the tomatoes are loaded into large open bins like huge bathtubs. They're piled as high as possible so the freeways sometimes resemble ketchup from the spillage. Some factory operations have been automated but processes like shoe production were shipped to Asia. The first choice was the Mexican maquiladoras but then the uppity Mexicans wanted a living wage.
