An incentive scheme intended to attract unemployed people to plug the worker shortage in the horticulture sector had attracted just 339 people as of April 16.
The shortage is due to border closures, preventing Pacific Island workers from entering the country. Around 15,000 workers from the islands normally come each year to pick fruit and carry out other orchard or packing work.
The Ministry for Social Development seasonal work scheme, which offered up to $200 a week for accommodation costs and a $1000 incentive payment for workers who completed jobs of six weeks or longer, was launched late year. By early March only 87 people had signed up to the scheme.

First group of RSE workers have arrived in time to tackle the apple harvest

The workers will be shared across industries and regions, Pollard said.
Pollard, who along with other industry body chiefs, has spearheaded the operation to get the workers into the country and divvy the workers up among growers said it had been a complex job.
Demand for the workers was critical among all growers, he said.

The RSE workers arrive just in time for the apple harvest, which begins in February.
The Government announced in November it would allow 2000 horticultural workers from the Pacific to enter in the new year under strict conditions. It is the first significant opening of the border to foreign workers since the Covid-19 pandemic hit.
