State project to evaluate Kona and Ka‘u Coffee labeling

Coffee Labeling
Project participation from diverse Kona and Kaʻu coffee stakeholders is sought. After a brief project delay, GUILD Consulting announces a request for project participation and industry input.

In mid-November, GUILD Consulting will conduct a series of surveys, focus groups, and interviews to gather critical feedback on topics related to Kona and Kaʻu coffee, coffee labeling, and the production of Kona and Kaʻu coffees. Those interested in taking part are asked to provide their contact information via a two-minute online form to be considered for project participation and to sign up for periodic project updates.

This project has been made possible via Act 222, SLH 2022, which was enacted to support Hawaiʻi’s coffee growers by appropriating funds to the Hawaii Department of Agriculture to conduct an independent study to assess the economic impact of Hawaiʻi’s coffee labeling laws on local coffee farmers and the local coffee industry.
