Abstract

Excerpts from the report Introduction: The wholesale food industry in Hawaii has long recognized the need for more modern facilities and improved handling practices in the State. Facilities that were designed for the needs of Hawaii as a territory cannot be considered adequate to serve the projected growth in population and increase of tourism. In 1964, a detailed study of food wholesaling in Honolulu was undertaken at the request of the State government. This study was under general supervision of the Transportation and Facilities Research Division, Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), in cooperation with the following State agencies: The Department of Land and Natural Resources, the Department of Economic Development, the Department of Agriculture, and the University of Hawaii, College of Tropical Agriculture. The purpose of the study was to determine (1) the adequacy of wholesale food facilities in Honolulu for present and future needs; (2) the costs of handling food products in existing facilities; (3) whether there is a need for new facilities; (4) how many wholesalers the center should provide for; (5) how much income would be needed to finance such a center; and (6) whether the Fort Armstrong site would be large enough; and (7) to outline the benefits that might accrue from improved facilities.
