Don Francisco Marin, a Spanish farmer, brought the fruit trees to the island in the 1820s. They ve been a part of the culture ever since. Today, they are sold to U.S. merchants and to the Dole pineapple plant in Oahu. Dole actually owns the entire island of Lanai and farms pineapple there. Hawaii s climate is also ripe to grow rice.
Rice is also one of the main crops on the island and is exported across the globe.
These nuts were imported from Australia, but grow just fine in Hawaii. The sweet nuts are considered some of the most delicious nuts created. Papaya and passion fruits. Fruits abound on the islands. That s no surprise.
