Subject: In Support of Resolution #18-06 , ; , ,
Honorable Council Members:
Please give your approval to Resolution #18-06. As a small Kona coffee farmer
who has a loyal following of clients around the world but just barely makes a profit,
we need all the help we can get to promote both the reputation and the marketing
of Kona coffee.
Frankly, 10% Kona in a blended coffee bag does very little to help Kona farmers,
but does a LOT to help farmers from other parts of the world. It also tends to
dupe tourists who think they're buying Kona coffee and damage the reputation
of Kona's world class coffee, as 90% of the coffee in the bag is likely to be
substandard in quality, particularly as it's not required to identify the other
coffee.
Thank you for your consideration of this resolution. Kona needs it.
Aloha,
Sarah
