Micropropogation
HARC operates a micropropagation facility that utilizes plant tissue culture techniques to multiply stock plants in vitro. This system enables the rapid production of robust, disease-free clonal plants in large quantities.

HARC supplies plants to growers throughout Hawaiʻi and exports to other states and countries.
With experience in sugarcane, banana, coffee, papaya, pineapple, taro, anthurium, and orchid. Among these, sugarcane and banana represent the majority of production, with over 50,000 plants distributed to growers annually. A dedicated team of scientists and technicians conduct the micropropagation work, bringing over 50 years of experience in plant tissue culture propagation. |
The team is open to new projects and is enthusiastic about working with plant species they have not previously cultivated.
