Green Mountain Coffee Roasters and Ben & Jerry’s Homemade joined the organization soon after its creation and the added support allowed for the addition of pathologists to work with the already existing technical assistance, equipment and medical supplies.

Tea & Coffee 04/03 - Coffee With Aloha Spirit: The 32nd Annual Kona Coffee Cultural Festival

  „Farmers in Kona must also consider the best methods for growing in this part of the world, and agricultural research has played a critical role in Kona’s coffee production over the years. “There is a long history of research on coffee by the University of Hawaii and a long relationship between the University and the coffee industry,” says Virginia Easton Smith of CTAHR (College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resource) of the University of Hawaii. “Some of the topics have been fertilizer requirements for optimum production, harvesting and processing for top quality coffee, best methods to use for starting a coffee orchard, nematode symptoms and management, and many other topics.” Smith gives a monthly “Coffee Talk” for the farmers on cultivation, and farmers come to her and the CTAHR when they have a problem or a question.“
