Hey everyone! I'm considering starting a greenhouse business with a budget of $100,000, specifically to grow crops like tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuce. However, I want to set this up outside of Europe. Does anyone have insights on where might be the best locations for this venture? Should I be looking at Asia, South America, or Africa?

That's an interesting idea! Have you ever gardened on a larger scale before? Just curious why you're set on starting outside of Europe. Do you plan on relocating there? It might be easier to farm in a suitable climate directly rather than jumping through the hoops of greenhouse setup. Also, do you have the $100,000 as cash, or are you thinking of taking out a loan?
The feasibility really hinges on your location. For example, in California, you'd probably need way more than $100,000 to tackle all the business licenses, zoning issues, and permits. It's a real maze out there! Make sure to research the laws specific to the countries you’re considering in Asia, South America, or Africa. Some nations may offer better paths if you’re bringing in a business. I’d recommend picking a few top contenders and reaching out to local experts for advice.
Totally! And don't forget, land costs can vary greatly too. You might find a decent spot in one region but be priced out in another.
