🌱🔬 Strengthening Agriculture Through Science & Innovation 🔬🌱

The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forests (MAFF) continues to build capacity in modern agricultural technologies through the Plant Tissue Culture Training held at the Plant Pathology Laboratory, FAAMA (Research Division), Vaini.

Supported and funded by the China-Aid Program, this training enhanced the skills of local research officers in plant biotechnology, laboratory techniques, and biosecurity practices. 🇹🇴🤝🇨🇳

Plant tissue culture plays an important role in producing healthy, disease-free planting materials that support farmers and strengthen the production of key crops such as banana, taro, and sweet potato.

Together we are growing stronger crops, improving food security, and supporting a sustainable future for Tongan agriculture. 🌿
