Hawaii is the pesticide and gmo companies perfect breeding grounds - what with our year round growing cycle... They are not going to let go without a major fight.

Is it just the mango farmers that are going to be economically impacted by getting rid of GMO? I say, just buy them out. Let's get rid of all of this Hawaii-wide. I'm sure any non-commercial planters (home gardens) will be fine with heirloom seeds.

Mango?

Im thinking you meant Papaya....

if so the BI GMO ban doesnt include longtime GMO papaya, for obvious reasons... Puna is the Papaya Capital of the World, and Papaya needs to be GMO here to be of selling quality...
the only threat these small single family papaya farms have is by vandalism by misguided brainwashed brainless kooks with machetes

PS...I believe there is still a $30K reward for info..... so if you know one of these brainwashed 'tards, turn the kooks in please...
