Food & Beverage
Overview
All companies involved in processing raw food materials, packaging, and distributing them constitute the food and beverage industry. Any product meant for human consumption, aside from pharmaceuticals can be a part of the food and beverage industry.
Hawaii’s unique location and heavy tourism economy provides special challenges to the food and beverage industry. In addition to supply chain management, licensing, compliance concerns, stakeholders have new challenges such as adapting to shift toward e-commerce and maintaining competitive differentiation.
