Earlier Report Observations

The tomato market in Tonga expanded from 858.6 tons in 2018 to 920.9 tons in 2019. This growth coincided with a tobacco tax increase that year, which encouraged a consumer shift toward untaxed local products and likely boosted demand for fresh tomatoes. The market volume then dipped to 894.5 tons in 2020 before stabilizing.

From 2021, the market entered a phase of gradual recovery, reaching 909.0 tons by 2023. Amendments to the Customs and Excise Management Act in 2021 facilitated the import of fresh agricultural products, helping to maintain market volume amid stable domestic production. The subsequent years saw steady, slow growth reflecting consistent consumption.
