McCrystal Agricultural Services Pty Ltd, a sweet potato and sugar cane farm based in South Kolan, Queensland, has successfully wrapped up its two-day recruitment drive at the Solomon Islands National Institute of Sport in Honiara.
The farm, a key participant in the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility scheme, interviewed 75 candidates and plans to recruit 40 workers who will be mobilized in cohorts between May and December this year, a statement from the Labour Mobility Unit (LMU) said.
Director Russell McCrystal highlighted that beyond farm work, the company is committed to supporting employees through skills development and capacity building, ensuring long term benefits for workers and their families.
With workforce numbers set to grow, McCrystal Agricultural Services is also investing in infrastructure, including expanded accommodation facilities for employees, LMU said.
LMU under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs & External Trade acknowledged McCrystal Farm for choosing to recruit from the Solomon Islands and expressed optimism for continued collaboration in the future.
