That is to say, if you go to the Marketplace to hire others you will receive an extra product (regular non-large box, fruits, flower, log or fish) in your storage for each product harvested. This will help employers having more products to load their facilities.
I just concluded an experiment and found out that we no longer receive an extra "large or non large" box when we hire our neighbour, but we do when we hire a stranger from the market. I hired someone from the market to harvest crops and received 730 regular hibiscus and 730 (large) hibiscus. I hired a neighbour to harvest the same size farm, same crop, and received only 730 hibiscus...no extras. It's not right to take what was given to us for hiring a neighbour and give it to us for hiring a stranger from the market. Please put it back the way it was or make it the same whether you hire a neighour or a stranger from the market.

We have never gotten extra boxes for a neighbor, buddy or even a stranger before the addition of this for the strangers from the market.
For all before and now for Neighbors and Buddies you get what you have planted, plus the additional 1 each if fertilized, plus the belt bonus amount. That means if you had 100 plots planted, fertilized, and the highest belt then you would get 100 (plots) + 100 (fertilized) + 72 (belt bonus) = 272.
Now with the additional bonus for hiring from the market you would get 100 (plots) + 100 (fertilized) + 72 (belt bonus) + 100 market bonus = 372
