Chapter 5: The North American Manufacturing Core --Manufacturing & Mineral Resources--


Although most of the gross income for Hawaii is generated from its tourism, Hawaii has some industries that play a small role in the Hawaii economy. Hawaii’s leading manufacturing activity is food processing and exports. These include coffee, macadamia nuts, pineapple, livestock, and sugarcane. The considerable shipping distance to importing ports is the main factor that its manufacturing doesn’t contribute to Hawaii’s economic growth as much as the tourism.
