As a result. the first 100.000ton sugar crop was produced in 1886. to be followed by the first 250.000ton crop only 11 years later. Meanwhile. the sugar industrys labor needs continued to feed the famous Hawaii melting pot. Portuguese immigrant families had arrived in 1878. mostly from the island of Madeira. German immigrants followed them in 1881. After formal arrangements were made between the goverfimenfs in 1885. the major Japanese immigration began in earnest. By 1907. more than 180.000 Japanese had come to Hawaii to work. of whom about 126.000 had left to return home. By 1913. the number of Portuguese immigrants had swelled to 20.000 men. women and children. with the majority of them again coming from Portugals island provinces.
