Edit request.

Hawaii is NOT the only state where commercial coffee is being grown. Georgia has an LLC currently growing coffee (first harvest 2014). In addition, why in the world would someone claim a crop that can be grown in a green house (and undoubtedly IS) is "only" grown commercially in Hawaii? Ridiculous. Seems to be taken directly out of a fan-boy infomercial.

Just because there is some silly reference to "back up" your claim, does not justify making claims that do not pass the "smell" test. How would someone actually verify that coffee was being grown and sold in a State? It can't be done. Without a way to determine the validity of a claim, I submit it should not be made, especially if it is not plausible. (limiting factor on coffee growth is temperature, major economic problem is the cost of temperature control. Why not just say that Hawaii grows $X worth of coffee a year, or along with Puerto Rico is the only "significant" location? 173.189.78.18 (talk) 23:07, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

:I think the phrase "grown commercially" here means that its production is commercially significant. You can grow coffee in a greenhouse in Montana, but you can't have an effect on the industry while doing so. Maxweleb (talk) 09:00, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
