~p 1'~r?NT 11 9 fi 2 2 3 <br /> P.O. Box 388 Kurtistown, Ha»~u91~76.0 <br /> (808) 968-6056 COUNTY 0r HAWAII <br /> • <br /> April 17,199 7 <br /> Aloha Mr. Chung and Councilmembers, <br /> I am writing to ask for your support for building an irradiator <br /> here nn the Big Island. <br /> I am a fruit farmer, born and raised in Hawaii. I support a fruit <br /> fly irradiation deinfestation facility for export of my crops to the <br /> mainland. I presently farm 100 acres of rambutan, lychee, starfruit <br /> and other fruits in the Kurtistown area. <br /> An irradiation processing facility will help build our <br /> agricultural exports and community. Agricultural lands could be <br /> developed with opportunities for large and small scale farmers. If we <br /> can export, we can make it as farmers, and keep East Hawaii rural. <br /> After reading all the material and exploring all the information <br /> I can find on this topic, I have found that this facility is very safe for <br /> our community. <br /> Please give us farmers a chance to export our unique crops and <br /> commodities to mainland markets. Let's take this opportunity to <br /> support our farming community, build our agricultural sector, <br /> expand commercial use of our airport, and put new life into the <br /> struggling East Hawaii economy. <br /> Pease support the proposed irradiator, and vote YES on April <br /> 2 4! <br /> Sincerely, ~ ~ ~ <br /> ~i <br /> <br /> P.S. Please circulated this letter for all the Councilmembers. Mahalo. y <br /> F;~~ FNDIGIP <br /> Presented <br /> Specializing iu Quality Fruit Trees APR 2 2 1997 <br /> l~:xt. Irate <br /> <br />
