Molokai’s Rogerene “Kali” Arce took the oath of office two weeks ago as the first director of Maui County’s new Department of Agriculture. A Molokai resident and Hawaiian homesteader, Arce has more than three decades of experience in Hawaii’s agriculture industry.
“Under Kali Arce’s leadership, we are making progress toward re-establishing agriculture as a key segment of our economy,” Mayor Michael Victorino said. “With support from our new Department of Agriculture, farmers are helping to provide our residents with fresh produce and higher-paying jobs, apart from the hospitality industry.”
Arce assumed her new position in July.
The department’s office is in Wailuku and can be reached by calling (808) 270-8276 or email, agriculture@mauicounty.gov. For more information, visit mauicounty.gov/2473/Department-of-Agriculture.
