<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> INTRODUCTION <br /> <br /> I have found in my many visits to the Islands and meetings with ditf'erent organizations, <br /> <br /> that there is a great concern about the future of Hawaii and how to enhance the growth and <br /> development of all phases of economic productivity. It is my belief that a correlation of activities <br /> and the cooperation of various communities/organizations must occur to eventuate this growth and <br /> <br /> devclopmont. The areas hereby addressed are Agriculture, Banking and finance, Transportation, <br /> and Packing and Shipping <br /> <br /> Each of these areas is important, and each is dependent on the other to be economically <br /> <br /> successful individually and collectively in their pursuit of a common goal. <br /> <br /> Holland Floral exports total approximately $250 million ,a year in products to mainland <br /> <br /> USA It is very possible that Hawaiian growers could increase their percentage of the market by <br /> working togcther with mainland wholesalers coupled witli aggressive marketing. The wholesale <br /> ealuc of green plant and cut flower sales, to mainland USA is projected to be approxunately $13 <br /> billion by the year 2000 It is my belief that with a cooperative effort of all persons involved in this <br /> <br /> business --from state agencies, to bankers, growers and shippers, this portion could be captured. It <br /> is with this thought in mind that I hereby endeavor to bring together the various concerned parties <br /> for the benefit of all. <br /> <br /> <br /> "A fantasy is something thought about but never pursued. A dream is an <br /> aspiration which if pursued diligently, consummation can be accomplished " <br /> <br /> <br /> To make this dreun come true is my wish <br />
