Hawai‘i seed crop industry thrives, supports state economy
Hawai‘i’s seed crop industry is experiencing exponential growth and serves as one of the few stable sectors for jobs in the state, according to a new economic study released today by the Hawai‘i Crop Improvement Association. Commissioned by the Hawai‘i Farm Bureau Federation, the report’s conclusions are based on analysis of data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agriculture Statistics Service.
In “Hawai‘i ’s Seed Crop Industry: Current and potential economic and fiscal contributions,” Thomas Loudat and Prehlad Kasturi, the study’s authors, conclude that despite major financial setbacks felt by numerous businesses across the state, the value of seed companies has continued to steadily grow since the industry sprouted roots in Hawai‘i more than 40 years ago. Hawai‘i’s seed crop industry is represented by 45 companies, some of which operate farms or other facilities on O‘ahu, Kaua‘i, Moloka‘i, and Maui. These companies employ almost 2,000 people throughout the state and collectively generate $13.8 million per year in tax revenues.
