Over the years, Hawaii’s agricultural land has shifted
from being dominated by sugar and pineapple to a multitude of crops
ranging from pineapple to coffee to tomatoes to flowers. In fact, today
there are over 40 different crops grown commercially compared to only
28 grown commercially in the 1950s. Hawaii’s agricultural industry is
now much more diversified, and although its role has diminished, it
still remains an important part of the state’s economy, generating nearly
$3 billion annually and providing for over 40,000 jobs.
