Correct, I know that coffee is grown on Hawaii, but it simply doesn't have the land area at the right altitude necessary to do so at the required scale.
Something not quite the same, but parallel is happening with Florida oranges:
> Only 12m boxes of oranges will have been produced in Florida by the end of this year (2024), ... The figure is 33% lower than a year ago, and less than 5% of the 2004 harvest of 242m boxes.
> It is also dwarfed by the 378m boxes expected to be produced this year in Brazil
