Earlier Report Observations

The market for poultry meat and offal in Tonga experienced considerable fluctuations in volume between 2018 and 2023. Starting at 7 792 t in 2018, it rose to 9 969 t in 2019, then fell to 8 080 t in 2020. A sharp increase followed in 2021, reaching 12 934 t, before declining to 9 744 t in 2022 and further to 7 241 t in 2023.

The market contraction in 2023 coincided with a government-backed push to promote local pork meat production as a strategy to reduce high poultry imports. The Ministry of Agriculture supported the expansion of hog farming, which aimed to shift consumer demand away from imported poultry, contributing to the drop in import volumes and overall market size for poultry that year.

In 2024, the Ministry of Agriculture restricted imports of raw poultry meat from key supplier countries like the US, Australia, and New Zealand to prevent the spread of bird flu. Concurrently, initiatives such as the 'Buy Tonga Made' trade fair and the launch of a new cool storage facility for agricultural produce highlighted efforts to strengthen local food supply chains and preferences for domestically produced goods.
