(“Royal”) include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly their financial position as of June 30, 2013 and 2012 and the results of operations, changes in partners’ capital and cash flows for the three and six months then ended.  The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or for any future period.  The farming and orchard businesses are seasonal.  The harvest period begins in late summer and continues through the following spring.  Accordingly, revenues and cash inflows tend to follow this pattern.   The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Partnership’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.   </div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for the basis of accounting, or basis of presentation, used to prepare the financial statements (for example, US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, Other Comprehensive Basis of Accounting, IFRS).No definition available.false0BASIS OF PRESENTATIONfalseBASIS OF PRESENTATIONUnKnownUnKnownUnKnownUnKnowntruefalsefalseSheethttp://www.royalhawaiianorchards.com/role/DisclosureBasisOfPresentation12
