The Immigration Minister says she's making needed changes to the Recognised Seasonal Employer Scheme.

The cap on seasonal workers will increase by 1,250 to 20,750, and the pause on accommodation cost increases will be lifted.

Employers will be able to average out workers' minimum 30 hours a week over four weeks and need to pay experienced staff only 10% above the minimum wage.

Immigration Minister Erica Stanford told Mike Hosking the sector needs more workers.

She says if the horticulture industry is going to double its exports it's going to need them, and that's why country Timor Leste is now included in the programme.
