Precision agriculture technologies offer significant potential to improve resource efficiency, productivity, and sustainability in greenhouse farming. However, their implementation often faces economic challenges that limit adoption, particularly in small- and medium-scale operations. This study aims to analyze the cost-benefit dynamics of applying precision agriculture technologies in greenhouses, highlighting economic feasibility, potential risks, and environmental benefits. A literature-based assessment was conducted, focusing on tools such as sensors, IoT systems, artificial intelligence, and automated control mechanisms. The analysis reveals that while these technologies can enhance production efficiency and reduce resource usage, the high initial investment and market uncertainties remain significant barriers. The findings emphasize the need for further studies on economic viability and the development of financing models to support broader adoption. This review contributes to understanding the economic implications of integrating precision agriculture technologies in greenhouse systems, supporting informed decision-making for producers and policymakers.
