According to a RNZ report, the workers said they were in awe of their agent, John Suran, who lived with a disability, having no hands, but has travelled to Australia and facilitated interviews and arranged the placements.
Vanuatu's Commissioner of Labour Lione Kaluat said Australian farmers were focusing on Vanuatu to provide workers for their farms because ni-Vanuatu workers were hardworking, committed and had respect for their employers.
Mr Suran had been dealing with the Madec company which will employ the 200 workers.
