The survey revealed that doctors in Hawaii are widely aware of these qualities. Tables summarize the survey responses and give the chemical and nutritional properties of poi. The idea that fermentation of poi reduces the bacterial load of the fresh product, and improves digestibility, was raised, but research was not available to confirm it, and the physicians surveyed lacked knowledge of this aspect.

The report discussed relationships between socioeconomic variables and consumption patterns. Ethnic Hawaiians were likely to be the most frequent consumers of poi. The authors stated that in 1828 poi was a staple for perhaps 95 percent of the population of Hawaii, and it was still an important food 100 years after that, but at the time of writing it was regularly consumed by only 5 percent or less of the population. The authors speculated that unless changes were made in its form, packaging, and promotion, a package of poi "could become an anachronism." Their prediction that "if poi is to have a profitable and lasting future then the flavor of the bulk of poi must change" had not been borne out in the several decades following the report's publication.

Action plans addressed industry bottlenecks, indicated the impacts on the industry if a bottleneck were or were not eliminated, and identified the action(s) required and the agency (or agencies) responsible for eliminating the bottleneck. Participants in the analysis, including university and state agency personnel, taro growers, poi millers, and marketers, prioritized the bottlenecks so that the Governor's Agriculture Coordinating Committee could decide how best to direct available funds.

Normally dormant buds on the corm can be stimulated to grow, and plantlets can be obtained from corm sections containing one of these buds. Buds on the upper part of the corm (the youngest part) were more readily stimulated to grow. Plants from corm sections grew as well as those from huli, but plants from huli were more uniform in growth.

The demand for taro in Hawaii exceeds the domestic supply, and there appears to be growth potential for the industry. However, the economics of this crop are as complicated as those of any other agribusiness enterprise. An economic model of wetland taro production for poi processing is developed in order to estimate typical and specific economic profitability. An analysis of the break-even price and yield and an analysis of the value of and return to various productive resources helps one to interpret the cost of production results. No attempt is made to quantify other positive attributes of wetland taro production, such as the crop's significant cultural and historical importance.
