New Zealand Immigration Policy Changes Not Helpful To Farmers

The truth is, any kind of immigration policy in New Zealand that would deter the arrival of the maximum number of immigrants in the country would not be helpful in general. The reality in New Zealand is that there is definitely a shortage of laborers which is not really quite felt right now because of the high number of immigrants arriving in the country. These immigrants are more than happy to do their share of work to be able to live well in New Zealand. However, the new policies are pushing for a limited number of immigrants. If this becomes reality, then there is a high chance that the labor shortage would definitely be felt.

Why is a shortage in laborers not good?

First and foremost, without laborers, businesses would not be able to achieve their maximum in terms of success. Employees are the blood of businesses. In New Zealand, business owners are pretty thankful for immigrants as they help fill up the positions that help get the jobs done. If owners relied on Kiwis (or the locals of NZ), they may have a huge problem as most Kiwis are lazy and are also choosy when it comes to the location of the jobs available.

The shortages in labor

Those who are part of the industries that would be affected greatly by the changes to immigration rules have spoken. They said that any of the possible changes are actually not good for the country and also for the possibility of the situation where labor is going to be in shortage. Most of the shortages would be happening in rural areas. The farmers would also be greatly affected by this. All of these is according to the groups DairyNZ as well as Federated Farmers.

On the issue, Michael Woodhouse works as the minister for immigration in NZ. He said that there was a period of consultation and they asked for feedback. As per the feedback, the minister has disclosed that they are now working on making sure that there would be an additional 6000 workers with low skills who would be able to stay in NZ for a longer period as compared to the current policies dictate.

The farmers need workers

Immigrants fill the gap needed by the farmers to get their business growing and working smoothly. Many locals of New Zealand cannot be relied on when it comes to such work. In fact, many of the younger Kiwis are not happy moving to another place just for a job. With that, the farmers resort to immigrants to do the work needed to be completed. That is why farmers are asking the government to get a second look at their policy changes to make sure that their business is not affected negatively by it.
