Producer

I am Nani Kahinu with Na'ike LLC on Molokai. I help our agricultural system by creating value-added products for the retail market throughout the pae 'aina. This supports our local economy by increasing demand for fresh, locally grown produce and decreasing the demand for imported produce to Hawaii. Na'ike LLC is a diversified business that produces value-added goods that we wholesale & retail throughout multiple platforms. We distribute goods to 10 stores island-wide, produce our own shoyu chili pepper blend, and own vending machines that feature locally sourced pre-packaged items, in addition to selling through the Sustainable Molokai Mobile Market.
Na'ike sources only Molokai-grown chili peppers and processes them without needing to hot bottle or refrigerate once opened. We plan to distribute our sauce to outer islands and export chili peppers to similar chili pepper water companies. Our mission is to support Molokai farmers by creating sweet and savory sauces and foods. Our vision is to lead by example alongside Molokai businesses.
