Starting a business in Hawaii

Tourism is by far the leading source of income for Hawaii. The state is a major supplier of pineapples, agricultural seeds, and sugarcane, which are the leading agricultural products in Hawaii. In 2009 Hawaii was voted the happiest US state in a survey which included questions about physical health, emotional health, healthy behaviours, job satisfaction, and other aspects of everyday life.
