Rural Economic Development
Rural communities on the Island of Oahu play a vital role to our economic and social well-being. With 85% of Hawaii's food imported from outside the state, local agricultural producers are essential to our food security.

The Oahu Agricultural Development Program (OADP) provides resources to enhance the capabilities of local farmers, ranchers and land owners. This effort is to establish projects that will positively impact the Oahu economy by supporting diversified agriculture while protecting natural resources.
The O'ahu RC&D offers classes to agricultural business people to help them improve their business skills. Topics include marketing, bookkeeping, product development and more.
