      Mostly people stopped drinking coffee, because pandemic hit their paycheck. Maybe coffee dealers like Kau could've reduced the price so that coffee became affordable to many. What I see is the opposite. 2 of the roasters I know increased the price of the coffee, I went with online subscription

      @Davon Garcia ​@Davon Garcia They have their own coffee. Indonesia is well known for quality coffee, and they export all over the world. About the part of targeting individuals and small companies, I personally think it is the strategy that only works locally or within the country. Exporting just a small amount will only increase the cost per unit, so people will not like the idea. Besides, I used to visit some coffee roaster, and I realize most of them import the green beans in high volume and only roast the required amount to control the quality. Individuals and small companies may not have the ability to do that, so lots of them will need the roasted products. After a long time of delivery (which is harder to control compare to buying them locally), the quality of the roasted products may be damaged (wrong aging period, environmental impact, etc.). I don't think people will like the idea of buying things from overseas which cost them more and give the unstable quality.

      it didnt used to depend on tourists... but global production of pineapple and sugar which were originally the mainstays of the state's economy were ruined by cheaper international alternatives. Compare a Hawaiian pineapple to one from Costa Rica... the Hawaiian one is so much more sweet and delicious but costs to cultivate and ship the product made it not viable as a self sustaining industry.
      This is why the coffee isn't just shipped internationally like the south american coffees are. There would be no way to turn a profit on it. Hence he's storing it to try & get something back here locally because sending that much coffee to anywhere either by boat or plane either compromises the product or makes it prohibitively expensive to the point of being a loss.

      It has the skins on and it not only gets them removed afterwards, but it also gets washed, dried out for weeks or something, then roasted for hours to get that black "charred" look. Bugs regularly climb on the coffee trees too so a boot is the least of your worries, even build nests in them which look sort of like spider webs with a bunch of termite droppings in it. Pincher bugs, spiders, and even ants I think leave the most droppings. Lots of foods like carrots are grown in the ground too so idk why a boot would bother you.

Seems good Hawaiian coffee is kind of hard to find on the mainland, although admittedly I often buy online. Why do they have to depend primarily on tourism? What about online? Covid has been hard for everyone. Hope things improve for them. Love good coffee from the Islands.

    Honestly, Hawaiian land should be used to grow food to feed the entire island. This is an example of people using limited space and resources for profit. Hawaii is the perfect place to practice sustainability and simplicity. Yet, there are tons of homeless and poor people who have to rely on imports to the island. The islands of Hawaii are GOLD MINES for people’s who want to live more naturally. Think food forest, community gardens, natural buildings, rain water catchment, solar panels, wind mills, electric cars and bikes, etc.

    • @Theinatoriinator
      @Theinatoriinator 4 года назад +1

      I'm pretty sure they already use that a lot because of their situation, clean water is not cheap because the only real solution is rain catchment, electricity is also more colar and renewables because it's hard to justify a huge power plant. The thing about growing food for themselves is the soil type and climate is not the best for things like wheat, corn etc. You can use other crops but their not as high yield and they are not as supportive.

    Well the reason is that the they don't want to sell them at a lower price and get some revenue rather than sit on it and expect the economy to be booming amidst a pandemic and a worldwide recession and potentially ending up on max inventory with no sales. Also the fact that there are no government subsidies for it's home grown crops makes things worse.

      Coffee shops , hotels and restaurants induce more drinking, which means more opportunity to increase the supplies for these farmers. Tourists in Hawaii buy a lot of these Kuna coffeee. So this guy got hurt by the covid impact.

    To me, this looks clearly to be supply chain issue, which have been some of the most issues created during the pandemic.
    Firstly, if more people are at home and still buying coffee to consume, why is this bagged coffee unable to reach home consumers? Answer is likely that this company only sold to coffee shops in the past (easiest supply chain to procure) and didn't have enough money saved to diversify during the pandemic.
