Candy Supplier Tonga
Tonga's 107,000 residents are served by a small retail sector centred on Nuku'alofa. Like Samoa, Tonga has a large diaspora — proportionally one of the largest in the Pacific relative to home population — across New Zealand, Australia, and the US, whose remittances support a meaningful share of household consumer spending. Import logistics typically route via Fiji or New Zealand.
