Strengthens Hawaii's food and product innovation network by integrating food safety, enhancing market access, and aligning branding.

The bill amends Hawaii Revised Statutes to enhance the food and product innovation network within the agribusiness development corporation. It integrates a food safety and regulatory framework, expands market access through collaboration with various state and private entities, and aligns state branding initiatives. The network will also collect economic data on indigenous and Native Hawaiian businesses, and the department of business, economic development, and tourism will evaluate expanding enterprise zone incentives to support the network.
