America Needs Farmers…
Is Veteran Agribusiness Training
Your Next Mission?
Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (JBPHH), located on Oahu presents unique agribusiness opportunities for veteran farmers in a region rich with agricultural history. Hawaii’s agriculture contributed $673 million in 2022, with key commodities including tropical fruits, vegetables, and coffee. While the state has seen a decline in farmland—losing 82,000 acres between 2017 and 2022—small farms producing diversified crops remain vital to local food systems. Oahu’s proximity to urban markets in Honolulu provides opportunities for direct-to-consumer sales through venues like farmers markets and local co-ops. For veterans transitioning into farming, JBPHH’s location offers access to both agricultural resources and a growing demand for locally sourced produce, making it an ideal base for innovative agribusiness ventures.
