Commercial Vegetable Production in Hawaii

Abstract

The bulletin provided extensive information on establishing and running a commercial truck farm in Hawaii, from acquiring seeds to establishing, maintaining, and protecting the crop, to preparing produce for market. Detailed descriptions of individual crops were given. This information has its place in a theme of the Extension Service, namely to promote agricultural diversification and substitute locally grown produce for imports. The author believed that Hawaii could produce profitably at least 50 percent of the vegetables then imported.
