Global Agricultural Sector Immigration Services

Overview of Global Agricultural Immigration Services

Global agricultural immigration services are important in improving workforce mobility in the global agricultural sector. This is important because traditional means of finding locally skilled employees can often be difficult. 

IAS’s Immigration services can help simplify applying for a visa, which helps businesses and their prospective employees better understand hiring foreign labour. They carefully review applications for visas to ensure all requirements are met. 

By working with immigration services,  businesses can ensure they are recruiting/employing skilled workers,  irrespective of their status as immigrants or country of origin. This will minimise the possibility of penalties and breaches of the law and help increase the quality and efficiency of the workforce. 

Challenges Faced by Global Agricultural Sector and How IAS Can Help

The global agricultural sector has several challenges, but these challenges can be fixed effectively with the help of immigration services. Below are the challenges and how our services can help mitigate them.

Labour Shortage

As more farmers reach retirement age, fewer young people choose to work in agriculture. Because of this, there is not enough competent labour to sustain the current production standards. For instance, 46% of UK farmers experienced a shortfall of over 10% in the fruit and vegetable sector, according to a study of farmers and farm managers assessing labour shortages in the country. Also, 28,200 agricultural positions in Canada were predicted to be vacant during the productive period in 2022.

IAS helps global agricultural businesses facilitate the immigration of skilled labourers to regions facing labour shortages in global agriculture.

Climate Change

The changes in the weather due to climate change create a risk to crop harvests and overall production of crops as they cause droughts, floods, and other extreme weather events. Nature Reviews reports that with the rise in temperatures, crop yields are forecasted to decrease by -6.2% to -18.3% in tropical and temperate locations under varying levels of climatic situations without adaptive measures. Using IAS’s service, you can attract foreign workers skilled in sustainable farming methods that can benefit your agricultural business.

Need for Seasonal Labour

For activities like planting, harvesting, and processing, many agricultural companies rely greatly on seasonal labour. It can be difficult to find adequate local workers ready to work temporary jobs. IAS can help with applying for temporary work visas so that foreign workers can relocate temporarily to meet seasonal demands.

Economic and Regulatory Issues

Agriculture earnings often fall below those in other sectors, making it challenging to draw in and keep skilled employees. At IAS, we can advise on approaches to attract and retain qualified foreign workers despite salary limitations, like providing benefits packages or chances for professional advancement.
