Canneries are Industry buildings in Tropico 6. They process raw resources like pineapple and fish into higher priced canned goods.

Analysis[]
The Cannery is substantially less powerful compared to previous incarnations. It is even cheaper to construct than the Tropico 5 version and the cheapest in the entire Tropico series. This however comes at the cost of only being able to processes two raw resources into higher priced goods from the get-go. The High Pressure Canner is still a requirement to process meat resource as usual. But Tropico 6's homogenization of all canned products into one canned goods really hurts the Cannery and the Flash Freezer upgrade as it can no longer produce the highly valuable freeze-dried coffee like its predecessor.
Despite all the weakened aspects. The Cannery still remains one of the most versatile industry building in the game.
