This is really a key issue...maybe the most important for kava in modern times. We have been working with the US Codex Office, to include Hawai'i, back and forth and have great hopes. "Tabled this week" (at first) reads like they are putting it aside but actually they will consider it and very much so! Thank you for bringing it to attention of others.

That makes a lot more sense than the American "table"...I'd have used "shelved" for the opposite
Total kava imported by Kiribati from Vanuatu and Fiji in 2015: 78 tons (78,000 kg)@verticity haha that country is consistently in the double digits for tons lol
Like Wallace and Grommit with cheese...I think Wallis and Futuna imported even more per capita, plus they grow their own kava!
Fishing for kava? Sounds like fun!Fishing and drinking kava. There's really nothing else to do on Kiribati.
