Investopedia explains 'Green Field Investment'
Green field investments occur when multinational corporations enter into developing countries to build new factories and/or stores.
Developing countries often offer prospective companies tax-breaks, subsidies and other types of incentives to set up green field investments. Governments often see that losing corporate tax revenue is a small price to pay if jobs are created and knowledge and technology is gained to boost the country's human capital.
