A historic Kona storm destroyed one of the island's oldest coffee farms, Greenwell Farms, causing significant damage to the farm and its infrastructure. The damage, which included decades-old coffee trees and approximately 24,000 young plants, is estimated to have affected about $10 million in total. This is part of a trend of extreme weather events becoming more disruptive due to rising global temperatures increasing rainfall and downpours. These disasters affect food security, tourism, and prices at the grocery store. Local organizations have begun relief efforts to help farmers and ranchers recover.
