Explanation:

"As with any startup, green-field investments entail higher risks and higher costs associated with building new factories or manufacturing plants. Smaller risks include construction overruns, problems with permitting, difficulties in accessing resources and issues with local labor.

Companies contemplating green-field projects typically invest large sums of time and money in advance research to determine feasibility and cost-effectiveness."
