A new multi-purpose pack house  is being built at the Funga Fonua funded by the Australian government.

“When complete, the Pack House will be used by communities to process and pack agricultural produce for export”, a comment on the Australian High Commission Tonga Facebook page read.

“Australia is proud to support livelihoods and broad-based economic growth in Tonga through initiatives that help communities access business opportunities”, it added.

The AU$200,000 facility, built in partnership with the Mainstreaming of Rural Development Initiatives Tonga Trust (MORDI TT) will be open soon.
