Del Monte had already announced that it would cease operations in 2008, but today's PBN reports that due to some unfavorable circumstances, it will shut down its business immediately, with some workers being laid off as of this coming Saturday, and with all employees being laid off by no later than Jan. 22, 2007. The total number of employees affected by the shutdown is 551.
Although the State has been trying to get displaced workers training, etc. the sudden immediate shutdown of operations will definitely create problems. And it is another nail in the coffin of Hawai'i agricultural heritage.
