Vanilla producer plans huge Tonga expansion

From , 5:01 am on 7 September 2018

A New Zealand vanilla company with strong links to Tonga is marking ten years in operation by more than doubling the size of its operation.

Heilala Vanilla is based in Tauranga but sources its vanilla from Tonga - to date mostly from Eua, which was battered by Cyclone Gita earlier this year.

The chief executive Jennifer Boggiss told Don Wiseman their planned expansion will take them further afield.
