I'm not in the market, so I don't know all the particulars. I'm guessing that's the "self-designated lands owners who own ten predetermined tracts of land"? It does allow people to grow their own (within a limit) which is cool. And I think that would prevent it from actually being a monopoly, as those in the commercial group could raise prices or reduce quality, but that would likely be countered by an increase in individual growers or quality they use.

It's not like an electric company where, if you don't like the rate your provider charges, you can just go string your own lines and build a hydroelectric dam.
