Plot

The Hawaiian Islands, located 2,000 miles from the U.S. West Coast, primarily rely on agriculture for their economy, as they lack significant minerals and manufacturing. Sugar cane and pineapple are the two main crops. Sugar cane, first cultivated in Hawaii over a century ago, is harvested after 1.5 to 2 years of growth, with fires used to clear leaves before gathering. Pineapples are planted using a paper mulch technique, and the ripe fruit is quickly processed for canning. Shipping plays a crucial role in transporting these products to the mainland U.S. and bringing necessary goods to Hawaii, making it vital for the islands' prosperity.
