Yet they don’t so clearly its not so easy. Who do you sell your potatos to? Mcdonalds? They probably have a contract already. Where do you even get your inputs, some farm that happens to not have a potato buyer lined up already? Where do you get your machinery for the process, from the toolmaker owned by the competitor perhaps that won’t sell you the state of the art?
Business concepts are easy. Actually doing business is hard no matter what it is. Especially when for one reason or another, 97% of the market is controlled by the potato cartel. Chances are you will find a Great Filter somewhere that ensures this cartels market share is maintained.

Yes, it’s hard because you’re trying to fight a cartel. And furthermore, the cartels distribute their products to other cartels - grocery stores that have consolidated over the years into Walmart, Kroger and Publix. And if you don’t like it, you have to change the laws which are controlled and dominated by the cartels and their donations. Thanks to citizens United. The US economy is far from capitalism.
