☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!
Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!
Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.

I'm not disputing what you said. Just pointing out the parts of the article that lead me to my conclusion. The Landlord seems to not want to sell off parcels of this land according to their own statement, but to continue coffee operations. What you said makes sense (as far as extracting more rents), but so does trying to buy the rights to the Kauai Coffee Company name to continue their operations because of brand recognition.
You are correct in that I don't know much of anything about the lease hold system for such lands in Hawaii.
Yes. And the farmer didn't offer comment so we only get the land lords perspective. I'm heading over there next month. I'll probably head over and ask around as to what the community thinks.
