Locally Grown by Maui's Own
Maui's agricultural community
is diverse and productive, reflecting our island's proud heritage.
From the largest modern plantations to dozens of small family farms, Mauians
produce a surprising variety of food and floral products.
From our world-famous premium
pineapple to the unique and other-worldly protea, Maui's Agriculture affects
many segments of our daily lives and economy. Farming plants the
seeds of a healthy economy from the smallest to the largest of Maui's industries.
Farmers provide Island Fresh food, flowers, and foliage, jobs;
and, support a variety of "agri-businesses": seed companies, equipment
suppliers, chemical-environmental products, transportation, food-processors,
financial and professional services.
Agriculture on Maui helps preserve
our open spaces, providing the lush countryside appreciated by both residents
and visitors alike. As the caretakers of Maui's precious environment,
farmers play an important part in our visitor industry. |
