The state Department of Agriculture has scheduled a meeting Tuesday to discussed proposed changes to the laws that govern the processing and sale of Hawai'i-grown coffee.

Representatives from the department's Commodities Branch and Measurement Standards Branch will explain changes that are being considered by the state Legislature that will affect how local coffee is labeled and sold.

Some of the proposed changes include: increasing the minimum content required to 50 percent of Hawai'i-grown coffee in blended coffee, up from the current minimum requirement of 10 percent; stricter labeling requirements; and implementing uniform inspection and certification requirements for both green and roasted Hawai'i-grown coffee beans.

The Maui meeting will start at 6 p.m. at the Pukalani Community Center Meeting Room.
