Hawaiʻi Bets Millions That Students Will Eat Way More Eggs

Hawaiʻi is investing $4.7 million in a Wahiawā egg-cracking facility to meet rising demand for liquid eggs in school meals, backed by Sen. Donovan Dela Cruz and the Agribusiness Development Corp. Critics question the project's viability and whether it benefits local producers or private interests, while proponents argue it supports food security and infrastructure. The facility is part of a broader plan to create a regional food hub.
