Deep dive on the economics of greenhouse growing

Episode 35 of Tip of the Iceberg Podcast features an interview with Nick Houshower of private equity firm Equilibrium, a major investor in greenhouse companies including Little Leaf Farms, Revol Greens, AppHarvest and Houwelings. Houshower discusses the factors that are driving private equity interest in greenhouse produce, what makes partnering with private equity attractive for these companies, why greenhouse is so expensive, why Equilibrium has a very favorable long-term outlook for the sector, and much more on the economics of this part of the produce industry.  In case you're new to Tip of the Iceberg, its name serves as a reminder for listeners that these discussions are just a taste of the vast produce industry coverage and analysis provided by The Packer newspaper, PMG magazine and always-updating websites for both brands: ThePacker.com and ProduceMarketGuide.com.
