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?
oh i wasn’t talking about greenhouse, just farming in general. tho malaysia doesn’t need green house, stable climate all year round.
giant megacorps in the states

You have a point. But they didn’t exactly crank up the greenhouses, then how do we know indoor farming/greenhouses is not profitable tho in the context of discussing scale. even if sth is profitable corporations might shy away because it may take years of investment to pay dividends.
Ormaybe it’s sth more simple - climate there doesn’t require it, or the type of food they grow is not suitable for indoor farming or will have less yield. When i was travelling in Europe i saw loads of greenhouses, like thousands of them. Probably it’s more suitable for them. Not too sure what’s being planted tho but there’s definitely utility in the concept itself that US farmers simply do not require.
