stupid!!
economics 101 
 too expensive  so demand drops

one or the other hv to give way
govt support not strong enough (high rental ) water n electricity prices increased too much in too short a time cause production cost shoot up

or hv to sell much cheaper to lure back customers

exactly local products save on air or sea trnaport n logistics support
why more expensive than imported ones

high rentals high utilities charges high coe are the culprits
pap dont know ???

As long as the prices are higher than imported ones, local produce will not have the market!

[WhatDoYouThink!]

Hydroponic and aquaponic:

Pros: controlled environment, not much pests so can save on pesticides

Cons: unlike soil and other mediums, water does not hv most of the trace elements and microbes needed, so they hv to be added to the water, and that increases the costs

Besides costs, the use of chemical ferterlizers is another concern that put ppl off

[mrclubbie]

local produce are always much more expensive

why go high tech when you can just farm directly from the ground ?

all these fanciful crap only pushes costs higher and selling prices even higher
