Our government supports the price of sugar made in the US. It
certainly supported the Hawaiian sugar industry until the land became
too valuable as real estate, so farming ceased. We still have a
couple of sugar plantations in Hawaii. The problem was it cost too
much to make sugar from cane here in Hawaii/US. Simply....Our
agricultural workers were the highest paid agricultural workers in the
US They had strong unions.
