Another big hit to our Big Island economy!
#4
Better check your facts. This is very doubtful:
"island of Hawaii where macadamia yields are the highest in the world."

Australia has put a lot of pressure on Hawaii producers because of Australia's higher productivity.

What is the local market for Macadamia?
We just bough 25lbs bulk and that will last us for months, using them out of the freezer. We buy MacNut oil (best and healthiest oil you can find), but that only comes in tiny little bottles.
To buy nuts or oil locally we go to more than a little bit of extra effort.
The Hawaii macadamia nut industry has been targeted at the 'world market' with zero attention to developing a local market.
Tariffs will not change this.
