National Tree Planting

Tonga plans to launch National Tree Planting Programme

Aotearoa Tonga Forest Ltd and the Mainstreaming of Rural Development Innovation programme would support the initiative. 

This was revealed after King Tupou VI went an Agricultural Tour of gardens in Tongatapu.

Tonga's popular annual Royal Agricultural Shows were cancelled this year due to the health emergency restrictions during the global coronavirus pandemic.

The king then went out to observe food production at the estates of the Ha‘a Havea Lahi nobles in Tongatapu.
