The land in the Wailuku valley was extremely fertile and contained the largest continuous area of wet taro cultivation in the islands.

# data[].attributes.body
Taro production declined as the number of traditional Hawaiian declined. Sugar also created a competition for the water needed to grow, and therefore also contributed to the shortages of food.

# data[].attributes.body
Sugar plantations were vast in the Wailuku area, with about 2250 acres with sugar cane actively growing in 1867

# data[].attributes.body
Following the māhele, many of the Hawaiian people and locals were unaccustomed to the Fee Simple ownership of land. With this, many abandoned the land that their family members had lived on and worked for hundreds of years. This would cause a shift and the people would need to find means of employment for supplies and food.
