Investing in specialty crop greenhouses comes with several risks. High initial investment is required for advanced greenhouse infrastructure, including LED lighting, CO₂ supply systems, and smart irrigation. Costs for equipment, licensing, laboratory testing, and marketing can be significant. Additionally, regulatory and legal risks are a major concern, as crops like cannabis are subject to strict national laws, local regulations, and international trade policies. The approval process is complex, and regulatory changes may impact market access and investment returns. Technical and operational challenges also exist, requiring expertise in precise lighting control, nutrient management, and plant genetics. The greenhouse environment is vulnerable to pest and disease outbreaks, demanding strict climate control to prevent contamination. Finally, market competition and demand fluctuations affect profitability. While the medical cannabis and herbal industries are growing, competition is fierce, and new entrants need strong branding and strategic positioning. Price volatility and export market uncertainties further add to the risks.
