New Zealand's Government has announced about 2400 more migrant workers will be allowed into the country for seasonal horticultural work, many from the Pacific Islands.
Pacific governments remain keen to get as many of their workers into New Zealand's Recognised Seasonal Employer, or RSE, scheme, as possible
But, as Mariner Fagaiava-Muller reports, not everyone thinks the workers benefit much from the scheme.
