I hope a don't get a good hiding for this post. Please forgive for stepping into a forum where I have close to zero knowledge of the subject area (farming). I've googled to try and get an idea of what I need to know but am not having much luck. I would very much appreciate any advice or comments.
Assuming that you had 5,000 acres of fertile land and you could only grow organic produce, what would be the most profitable produce to grow : (assuming access to water, something not to heavy to transport, average temp approx 25 Celsius very low cost of labour and all the machinery you would need, greenhouses etc ).
I had a look online and listed: saffron, cotton, washabi, mushrooms, hemp, avocados, and a variety of herbs, lavender etc.
I'm guessing it would make sense just to stick three items to help with economies of scale and ensuring the soil is kept fertile with crop rotation.
I'm sure quite a number of you are face palming at the moment; I would be very interested to hear what you would grow given the conditions listed to maximise profits.
Many Thanks
Joe
