Don't know about in NZ but BBB did this in UK when he was but a young man, many many moons ago. The only thing he's ever said was that it was back breaking work.

I haven't done it as work, but I remember strawberry picking for our own use at a market garden. Yes, it was back-breaking because of bending to the plants, and you were having to crawl underneath the nets they had in place to keep the birds off.
