„The HCA’s focus is promoting Hawaii as a coffee origin and to increase Hawaii Coffee consumption within the State and export from the State. A major component of the HCA’s work is education of the public and of members. Each summer the HCA holds a Hawaii Coffee Conference, for members and others interested in Hawaii Coffee.“

„The HCA is recognized by the State of Hawaii Department of Agriculture as the industry's umbrella organization. Therefore we take the lead role in representing organizations like the Kona Coffee Council, The Kona Farmers Alliance and the Hawaii Coffee Growers Association. We are involved in coffee research with both the Hawaii Agricultural Research Center and the University of Hawaii College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources. But, over the past two years, our focus has been on a combination of marketing and education and we found that Truth In Labeling was an effective tool to address both of these issues. “

„“This is a very important development for our industry,” said Hawaii Coffee Association (HCA) President Frank Kiger. “The labeling requirements in the revised law will allow consumers to clearly distinguish a 100-percent Hawaiian coffee and foreign coffee,” he explained. “Most of the coffee roasted and sold in Hawaii that carries Hawaii identifiers are blends. [The new laws] will distinguish a Premium Blend coffee - one that may contain 30 percent or 50 percent Hawaiian Coffee - from one containing only 10 percent.”“
