It’s not that we can’t grow most of them locally, it’s just not cost efficient to do so. Massive greenhouses, with all the expenses they entail, would not solve that issue.
only if you’re SME. If anything, operating at a larger scale will yield higher profit due to economies of scale (up to a point tho)
it’s just the cost of doing business and said expense is highly relative. And even within the industry, what is expensive for an SME in that particular sector is not necessarily expensive for larger corporations. different risk appetite, governance, funding etc.
There’s a reason even the giant megacorps in the states are growing crops on soil, not giant greenhouses (for the most part). You think they wouldn’t have moved over if it was potentially profitable to do so?
