Most mining farms are located in China. China are known to have good climate, low labor cost and low electrical cost. With these factors, their profitability is already quite high. Since big ASIC makers like Bitmain being based in China, they can potentially factor out the high shipping cost with discounts given at high ASIC buying volumes. Most farms have hardware that have already ROIed so they're making pure profits now.
Have you ever looked into mining yourself?
