Dole is shutting down its Waialua coffee farm on Oahu, a bad outcome for the nine workers who will lose their jobs this month.

• The 30-year-old coffee estate closes at the end of the month.
• All nine farm employees are being laid off.
• Dole plans to sell the 154-acre property.
• The land sits next to a cacao farm Dole already sold this summer to a chocolate maker.
• Dole's pineapple business and visitor center stay open.

Outlook: Dole keeps trimming its Hawaii farmland, so expect the coffee acreage to change hands next.
