A total of 154 Ni-Vanuatu workers arrived at Christchurch Airport at 6am on Monday via a charter flight from from Vanautu’s capital, Port Vila. Alexandra industry recruiter Seasonal Solutions recruits the bulk of RSE workers into Central Otago and throughout the South Island. Ms Axby said the workers’ arrival would make a "big difference" to Central Otago’s horticulture and viticulture sectors and their arrival was timely. The Ni-Vanuatu RSE workers are expected to be joined by Samoan and Tongan workers from October 12.jared.morgan@odt.co.nz
