In japanese does the adjective come before the noun

It goes noun adjective.

EX: 猫は太っ= Neko wa futo~tsu= The cat is fat
       

I've lived in Japan for three years, and I've taken advanced Japanese I and ll classes. So, in a sentence, the adjective comes before the noun.

Example:  Watashi wa ao neko skidesu.
 
Translation: I like blue cats.

As you can see, the color of cat comes before the actual cat itself.

Ibelieve the rising demand for workers on the huge plantations

Put the whole thing
