More opportunities for chefs are opening up in Australia where they are offering chefs who have more than 3 years experience salaries of AUD$80,000 to AUD$120,000.

Minister for Economy, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says Fiji has to be ready for this challenge as recruitment agencies are already advertising to get chefs from here.

He says there could be a shortage of chefs in Fiji.

Sayed-Khaiyum says these issues will need to be looked at urgently.
