History of Manufacturing in Hawaiʻi
The Puʻunēnē Sugar Mill is a relic of Hawaiʻi's manufacturing past. Hawaiʻi was once the world's largest producer of sugarcane, and in 1930, Hawaii led the world in the production of canned pineapple, boasting the world’s largest canneries.
Future of Manufacturing in Hawaiʻi
While Hawaiʻi's manufacturing industry faces several competitive disadvantages, such as high energy, labor, material and shipping costs, all of which can be addressed through technological innovation, it also has several unique advantages, including large military and tourism markets, which spend billions of dollars on goods each year in Hawaiʻi.
