KEEP Hawaii
GROWING
Glyphosate-based pesticides are Hawaii farmers’ #1 tool to control weeds, keep yields high, and implement conservation practices that use less land and resources.
These products are integral to helping Hawaii farms compete in an increasingly challenging global market and ensuring a robust and affordable food supply.
Agriculture contributes over $837M to the state’s economy, and Hawaii farmers are the backbone of that activity.
Hawaii farmers rely on pesticides to grow their crops and keep yields high, bolstering domestic food production and ensuring we have enough to eat.
- Up to 40% of crops are lost to pests and diseases each year. Without pesticides, losses could be as high as 85%.
Glyphosate helps keep Hawaii farmers competitive in global markets.
- Glyphosate helps keep farmers’ costs low. Without glyphosate, input costs for Hawaii farmers could more than double.
Glyphosate helps keep grocery prices affordable.
- Without glyphosate, food inflation could more than double—forcing Hawaiians to pay even more at the grocery store.
