Traditional 19th century greenhouse technology accomplishes this just fine; tropical fruits grown in temperate climates isn't wizardry. The problem is transportation of foods actually grown in the tropics has become much cheaper, so the economic niche for greenhouse grown tropical foods has narrowed considerably. And of course, using LEDs and solar panels instead of plate glass roofs makes it worse...
(Incidentally, most tropical soil is notoriously poor, so getting the soil right is one of the easier parts.)
