Canoe Crop

            Sugar Cane
Limihuli Garden
Hā'ena Halele'a Kauai

The first Polynesian settlers brought sugar cane (kō) to Hawaii as an important source of fiber and sugar,  The settlers used the leaves for thatching material and made a black dye from Charcoal from the leaves and stems.

In the 1800s, sugar cane became an important commercial crop in the Hawaiian Islands, and large quantities were produced for export to the United States and other countries.  Commercial sugar cane production also dramatically influenced the demographics of the Hawaiian Islands through the importation of hundreds of thousands of laborers to work in the fields. 

Hawaii's last working sugar mill, in Puunene, Maui, produced the final shipment of sugar from Hawaii in December 2016.  Today, sugar can is considered an invasive species one can see many thousands of uncultivated sugar cane plants growing in fields and along roads.
