For buildings of the same name in other Tropico games, see Cannery.
Canneries are industrial buildings in Tropico 3 and Tropico 4. Workers here take raw resources (fish, pineapples, coffee) and preserve them in cans, making them last longer to improve their Food Quality and selling price.
Despite what the tooltip says, a salt mine nearby does not improve the cannery's production. Salt mines improve nearby Fisherman's Wharfs and/or ranches.
Upgrades
- Packing House: For $3,000, an extension where raw materials can be sorted and prepared for canning can be built. This boosts production by 25%.
- Flash Freezer: For $3,500 and 10 megawatts of power, a machine to freeze coffee grounds can be installed. Coffee that has been freeze-dried is better and more expensive than regular canned coffee.
Work Modes
- Sweat Shop: The default work mode. Employees here work backbreaking 14 hour long shifts.
- Easy-Does-It: Employees here are given an easier time. Their job quality increases by 10 but they work 25% less.
