Tonga's government is struggling to pay back $174m in debt, largely accrued through foreign loans Rural Tonga struggles to deal with how to productively use the land Watermelons are one of the few crops grown in Tonga. But they are bulky and hard to export overseas Some say half the watermelon crop is not exported because of irregular shipping routes Tongan children have high literacy levels but there are few jobs available on the Pacific Islands The only real hope for their future employment is to leave Tonga and get a job overseas
