Local exporters will benefit from improved access to timely fumigation services, following a new partnership recently signed between the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forests (MAFF) and the Pacific Horticultural and Agricultural Market Access Plus (PHAMA Plus) Program. The new partnership will enhance the capacity and efficiency of fumigation services in Tonga.
Tongan seniors and about 50 needy families received care packages over the festive season from the Queen’s Charity, supported by donors from the business community.
A planned multi-purpose packhouse facility for root crops will serve as a processing and packing facility for both frozen and fresh produce in the Eastern District of Tongatapu, to be built under a partnership agreement between a Tongan export business Lotopoha Export Trading and the Pacific Horticulture and Agricultural Market Access Plus Program (PHAMA Plus).
