primary purpose of promoting the interests of any and all aspects of
tropical fruit in the State of Hawaii.

the exchange of knowledge and experience.

The annual International
Tropical Fruit Conference each fall serves as the focal point of
information dissemination and training for the industry. The
far-reaching and timely topics highlight new research, industry news,
and trends. Featured speakers are tropical fruit experts from around
the world. Now in its fifteenth year, the popular conference also
features orchard tours and demonstrations, fruit tasting, and a benefit
auction. Details:
Membership: The Hawaii
tropical
fruit industry is growing rapidly, especially on the Big Island. Our
membership includes people who work in many aspects of this business:
small growers and commercial growers, nursery stock growers of tropical
fruit trees, packers and wholesalers, and manufacturers of tropical
fruit specialty products. The majority of HTFG members farm on the
island of Hawai'i and we have three active chapters here. They are the
East Hawai'i Chapter, the West Hawai'i Chapter and the Cacao Chapter.
Chapters on the other islands are presently in-active, but as the
tropical fruit industry grows, we know those chapters will also grow!
