Harvesting within a container farm is efficient due to the small area.

Cost-efficient: Lower cost in comparison to traditional greenhouses. Container farms typically have the lowest upfront Capital expenditures of any type of indoor farming, investors have a significant opportunity to get a return on their investment closer to their initial installation than with other forms of indoor farming.
