Highlights

Demand for bakers is steadily increasing because of:

* growing demand for convenience food
* greater demand for nutritional and specialty foods such as gluten-free products.

There are also more bakery cafes, bakery franchises and supermarket bakeries because of increased consumer demand, which is increasing employment opportunities for bakers.

Due to the demand for bakers, the Government is actively encouraging skilled bakers from overseas to apply for positions in New Zealand.
