Health effects of the sugarcane industry on Maui Although dozens of sugarcane plantations once existed in Hawaii]], the Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Company (HC&S) on Maui is the state’s only remaining sugar producer. With approximately 36,000 acres worth of sugarcane and a large industrial mill alongside Maui’s major highway, the business maintains a highly visible presence on the island. As the largest private landholder on the island, HC&S has a great economic power that necessitates environmental responsibility. Debate surrounding the sugarcane company’s practices has become a popular and polarizing issue, and the Maui’s major newspaper, The Maui News, publishes multiple letters to the editor regarding sugarcane each week. Empirical studies point to some of the potential health and environmental impacts of growing and burning sugarcane on Maui.
