Capturing a multi-billion
dollar opportunity
The domestic opportunity is significant
The U.S. imports over $2 billion in greenhouse tomatoes and cucumbers annually, primarily from Mexico and Canada. LZZ's model enables domestic production at competitive costs while eliminating thousands of food-miles from the supply chain. As retailers and consumers increasingly prioritize local sourcing and supply chain resilience, protected horticulture infrastructure becomes critical competitive advantage.
