Rep. Rida Cabanilla Arakawa believes hemp
production will revitalize agriculture
Honolulu, Hawaiʻi – Representative Rida Cabanilla Arakawa (ʻEwa Villages, ʻEwa Beach, ʻEwa Gentry, Ocean Pointe) has invited Georgio
Martinez and Johnathan Pozon founders and managing partners of Green Label Group LLP., which specializes in the
structuring and consulting of the hemp industry, to Hawaiʻi for meetings and a presentation in Hilo.
The California-based company asserts years of field-cultivating experience in the
cannabinoid agricultural sector and in the import and export of other
commodities from around the globe, including sales, logistics, and market growth.
This past session the Legislature
passed SB1353 SD3 HD3 CD1 to facilitate the regulation and
production of industrial hemp in Hawaiʻi.
"One of my many duties
as a legislator is to generate solutions to keep the state and its people sustainable. Hemp has the very real potential of
rejuvenating our agricultural industry and creating jobs beyond our service and
tourism industry," said Rep. Cabanilla Arakawa who is a member of the
House Committee on Agriculture.
"I am pleased to have Mr. Martinez and Mr. Pozon and their
team of management experts share their knowledge of the hemp industry with us
and, especially, our farmers," she added.
The group is expected to meet with
state officials and agencies. A presentation for farmers is scheduled for Thursday, May 16, at the Hilo Hongwanji
Mission Hall on Hawaiʻi Island, from 5 – 8 p.m.
