Hello my name is Somphane Manivong. Unfortunately, the Kona Low Storm brought devastating floods that swept through my farm located in the mahiko farms lot, destroying all of my crops. Which includes bittermelon, sweet peppers, okra, jicama, pumpkin, papaya, bananas, and sugarcane all were lost in a matter of hours.

I lost all 6 acres and it will take me 3-4 months to get my farm up and running again, I sell at the aloha stadium swap meet. I try to provide affordable produce to our local community.
