Lotopoha Export Trading

New multipurpose packhouse facility to boost Tonga’s root crops export

The company signed a new partnership with the Pacific Horticulture and Agricultural Market Access Plus Program (PHAMA Plus) to facilitate this development.

The partnership builds on PHAMA Plus' prior collaboration with Lotopoha to improve Tonga’s root crops export capacity and meet increasing quality requirements and market demands. The multipurpose facility will serve as a processing and packing facility for both frozen and fresh produce in the Eastern district of Tongatapu which supplies a large portion of the country’s total root crops exports volumes.

Quality, supply boost for Tonga root crops

The partnership signed between Lotopoha Export Trading - a leading Tongan exporting company – and the Australian and New Zealand-funded Pacific Horticultural and Agricultural Market Access (PHAMA) Plus Program looks at helping small holder growers with consistency in quality supply and production of root crops in Tonga.
