Hawai'i Macadamia Nut "Country of Origin" Labeling Bill (Mar. 22, 2024) 

Thats good, lets local farmers compete with cheap international imports

Isnt this what happened to Kona coffee. Other parts of the state also needed to be protected not just Kona. You have Kau, Hamakua, and other Islands who grow coffee. So mac nuts should be correctly labeled.

The macademia country of origin is Australia. They are actually called Bauple nuts, discovered in what was an ancient Gondwana rainforest in a small town named Bauple just 250km north of brisbane Queensland.

I thought all food products had to be labeled with country of origin.

Production cost became too high fertilizer, chemical and labor .

I WANT to buy only Hawaiian macademia nuts! More discussion on common sense sounds like somebody benefits from a delay. What a load of nonsense! The LAST food I would choose to eat is anything grown in China! The water and soil are hopelessly polluted. Tap water is undrinkable. Food from that country is watered with the same water. Consumers have the right to know. Why does this require more discussion?

Why would it be any more difficult to label macnuts than it is with coffee?

Hawaiian Host brought nothing to the table. 🤣

Hawaiian Host spokesperson shows natural "gift" for dancing around a particular question w/out addressing the question directly. Way 2Go, Michelle...Maika'i no!-smh

Does Hawaiian Host import macadamia nuts to Hawaii? Come on, we know what's going on here.

In 2021 I bought some delicious macadamias in Mountain View at Dimple Cheek. Since I moved I have bought organic Mac nuts on Amazon. They sell them by the 1/2 pound for $16.99 and sometimes give people 15% off if they purchase $50. They’re good. If Island Naturals or somebody could match that I’d go with them. Help HI farmers get USDA certification that can’t afford it especially if they’d qualify anyway.

All Mac nut farms being bull dozed in hamakua for Filipino farmers

Ohhhh, so is Hawaiian Host processing non Hawaiian macnuts?

“Country of origin”… as long as you know this is the Hawaiian Kingdom, not America.
