„“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.”“

„"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 from a blend that uses both Hawaiian coffee and foreign coffee," he explained. "Most of the coffee roasted and sold in Hawaii that carries Hawaii identifiers are blends using only 10 percent Hawaiian Coffee and 90 percent imported foreign coffee. Now, roasters will be able to distinguish a Premium Blend coffee - one that may contain 30 percent or 50 percent Hawaiian Coffee - from one containing only 10 percent."“

„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. “

„During discussions it was brought up that the Hawaii 3x must be certified to use and that the contributions to the HCA are actually coming from those selling green to HCC. The KCC expressed their concern of dangers that may arise from importation of green coffee to supply this program.“
