Chapter 18

Hawaii

Hawaii's most valuable crops are sugar and pineapples but coffee, macadamia nuts, avocados, bananas, guavas, papayas, and tomatoes are also grown. Louisiana's major crops include sugar cane, rice, soybeans, cotton, corn, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, peaches, strawberries and melons.




Tourism in Hawaii is one of their largest industries unlike Louisiana. The production of minerals (oil and natural gas) and chemical processing make up the largest industries in Louisiana. Tourism is still important to their economy; New Orleans French Quarter, the Cajun Country, plantation homes, Jazz, Mardi Gras, swampland tours, hiking and camping are some of the major tourist attractions in Louisiana.
