Aloha Air Cargo and Hawaii Farm Bureau Partner for Island Sustainability
New Collaboration Offers Local Farmers Discounted Shipping Rates and Enhanced Membership Benefits
Honolulu, HI, November 11, 2009 --Aloha Air Cargo and Hawaii Farm Bureau Federation (HFBF) have cultivated an unprecedented new partnership that champions local farmers and fosters enhanced sustainability in the Hawaiian Islands. Starting today, associates of HFBF now have access to a members-only webpage and exclusive discount program, including up to 35 percent-off air freight from Aloha Air Cargo for locally grown and “Made in Hawaii” packaged products.
“Agriculture is an exemplary part of Hawaii’s economy and a key to preserving our cultural heritage and a green environment,” said HFBF president Dean Okimoto. “This is the first time that a discount-program of this magnitude has been provided to our entire member base and we thank Aloha Air Cargo for its deep commitment to the betterment of Hawaii.”
Aloha Air Cargo’s Information Technology department helped HFBF create a unique members-only section on its website that provides information on all member benefits, deals and specials. From this member portal, constituents can access an online estimator that easily calculates freight shipping quotes with the HFBF discount applied. In turn, this allows members to accurately quote shipping costs to customers when selling their produce and packaged goods.
“We realize that Aloha Air Cargo has the ability to play a significant role in furthering a more sustainable Hawaii,” said Mike Malik, president of Aloha Air Cargo. “By making it easier and cheaper for Hawaii residents to market their goods statewide, it’s a win-win situation for both consumers and the environment.”
Additionally, Aloha Air Cargo is extending a 20 percent-off discount to HFBF members for General Freight shipments such as supplies and non-perishable products. The program rates are effective from November 9, 2009 through December 31, 2010.
For members of HFBF to access the discounted rates and freight-estimator from Aloha Air Cargo, they need to sign up on the Members Section of the HFBF website: http://hfbf.org/kh/signup.php. Members with questions about online freight quotes or the discount program can contact Aloha Air Cargo directly at customerservice@alohaaircargo.com.
