Description
This photo shows a pineapple plantation in Hawaii. Pineapples were a big part of Hawaiian economics and a key produce, much like the sugarcane plantations. James Dole established the first pineapple plantation in Hawaii in 1901. Along with this he produced canned pineapples, and built a cannery near his home. As a result of this, he became very popular and his profits for selling canned pineapple were soaring. This was due to the high demand for pineapple in America. Following on from this, in the 1930s Hawaii became known as the pineapple capital. The production and transportation of pineapple soon became one of the largest industries in Hawaii.
