Hawaii's Pineapple Industry Expands at Honolulu Plant
The Hawaiian Pineapple Company operates the world’s largest pineapple cannery at Honolulu with a daily capacity of 4,506 to 6,000 crates, producing about 950 tons daily. Ninety percent of workers are Japanese and Maui Islanders. The plant processes fruit into canned syrup, labeling and packing two dozen cans per crate. Total territory pack this year ranges from 30,900 to 400,000 cases across eight canneries. Pineapple farming covers about 4,500 acres, with sizeable growth potential as the industry rises to second only to sugar in importance. Fresh fruit shipments compete with canning due to steamship irregularities, but many prefer canned fruit for convenience and flavor preservation.
