Microgreens sound like a good idea, but it can be difficult to find buyers. In a rural setting it is hard to find enough people who want to buy them on a regular basis, so urban growers might actually have an advantage.
I've found local restaurants and farmer's markets have been very helpful to sell microgreens. I live in a small town, but close enough to where larger towns are only an hour away. So living in a city and using a garage/spare room to grow would be a lot less of a commute, but definitely not where I would want to live.
My uncle and aunt started with a couple thousand $$ and easily makes +$200k per year just doing two farmer's market a week. Of course they work hard and long hours, but lets say they aren't hurting for money.
Or do a UA-cam search on micro farming, chosing filters in options and then choose "creative commons" and use. Then you'll get a lot of videos you can use for free to chose from.
I’m 7th generation farmer, we had to sell the farm. This list isn’t very realistic or accurate. Just because you CAN earn 50k per acre on flowers does not mean that you WILL earn that. We had 4 acres of cut flowers by the time we sold, they never brought 20k per acre even tho we sold at farmers markets. Herbs, bonsai, greenhouses of various types of plants... we never could earn more than we spent.
Understood. It is sad to hear you sold. I am 4th generation where I grew up and just bought for my own. Check out Joel Salatin and The Stockman Grass Farmer. He teaches how to make a profit on the farm and he practices what he preaches on Polyface Farms which his dad bought. There is a way to make things work and be profitable by nonconventional cheaper means. When they started, it was just the family.
Reading the comments and seeing so much help, Love this community. Can't wait till I have more money so I can become a farmer. Once I get monetized and have some passive income coming in I'm doing it!
We own coffee farm in Kenya producing 2000kg per year. Despite Kenyas arabica coffee being the best in the world and only used to blend the rest, my father only gets $0.20 per kg not mentioning waiting the cash for half a year after delivery to the co-operatives they sell to. Coffee is also laborous to grow and expensive to maintain. We plan uprooting the bushes and planting hass avocados which are fetching better prices.
Hey Charles, I would like to connect with you to purchase your entire arabica coffee from your father's farm. Share your WhatsApp or E-mail. Thank You.
Hi Charles Mumo, am a farmer in Kenya too in Siaya county I own greenhouses it’s really been challenging what is lucrative out there and also meet fellow farmers, am currently abrybut let’s stay intouch please 🙏
Tip to grow your own goji berries. Buy the dried berries from your local supermarket. Soak them in water overnight, then squeeze out the seeds and plant them 1/8 in. deep in pots. In a few weeks they will sprout. You're welcome!
...one thing to keep in mind, you prospective millionaires: if you don't have good soil, or aren't prepared to build up your soil you can forget the millions. Trillions of tons of topsoil each year is lost as windblown dust, or is washed away by rains often as a result of ''get rich quick'' mentality of folk who know nothing about natural systems. Leave the land to those who understand it and care about it, and stick with what you know... (like the stock exchange, maybe?)for the sake of all of us!
I think you will find the opposite true. Bankers owe farmers a lot, you need to eat to survive, and the bankers are certainly not growing the produce they eat. food is more vital to the body than money is. Money is just a means to trade with.
Great video. I'm taking notes. Thanks. I don't remember this video saying any of this would be easy. Negative people aren't beneficial to anyone, even themselves.
There is absolutely no easy money in farming. There might be some tricks here and there, but nothing evades hard work and effort. People talk about how much money is made by a farmer, they don't realize the millions of potential dollars in costs for machinery and infrastructure.
Yeah that’s why all them people died in communist Russia. People thought those farmers who worked hard enough to buy land and employ one or two people were thief’s or robbers somehow. I’ve a farm myself (not me exactly but my family) and I can tell ye all personally that it’s fucking hard. People are always trying to short you. People assume your rich. If only they knew half of it. They don’t see what goes on.
@@diarmuidhickey6043 soviet Russia had a famine because of the fastest industrialization in human history in preparation for inevitable military conflict. there has never in history been a larger military conflict then the one between Germany and Russia hitler claimed Slavs were the lowest race and not even worthy of life.. far more people would have died if Germany took over Russia. the British caused countless famines in there colonies and it took over 100 years for them to industrialize in Russia they industrialized in 10 years...... have studied soviet history for 5 years
So, to become a millionaire, we need to start a wasabi farm in a river, wait 6 years to make $200,000 in ginseng, wait 20-50 years to hit the jackpot with our bonsai plants, move to Iran for the cheap labour, spend $10,000,000 to buy a flower nursery to compete with the mega farms and the dirt cheap flowers coming from Columbia, sell micro greens to customers out of your basement ( Only higher end restaurants would buy them and they probably have a good hydroponic supplier, Good luck selling to them from your basement) Computer voice says "I love lavender ice cream" also, what number is 1,20,000?
Great information - I'm so surprised vanilla is not included in the top 10. As comments below state, the reality is if you farm it's something you have to do, more a vocation, not because you want to be a millionaire.
But mushrooms, the varying types and medicinal usage is per acre one of the biggest cash crops. If you want a small space and great money, hire a mycologist and get started. Even small yield is an amazing cash venture.
The first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance - either on your own or with the help of a Financial Advisor. If you can get the facts about savings and investing with a well detailed plan, you should be able to gain financial security over the years and enjoy the benefits of managing your income.
@Ibrahim faizan I think the key thing here is working with a professional. Yes people have devoted their lives to making profits in the market, but those of us who haven't but are interested in investing can simply work with them.
Interesting that mushrooms and microgreens are so high on the list. My wife and I are planning on starting a small niche farm and these are excellent ideas for what we can grow to sell, along with stuff for ourselves of course.
i guess this is because of a density of growing.. aka per square unit profit. But they are grown indoors and that needs to be considered too, harder to scale that I think.
Not sure what you mean. Get free organics, brush , grass, wood and make compost. Spread it around and put plants in it. Pretty sure the big farms buy bulk too.
The amount of time and money you would spend on these would outweigh running them small scale...most of these things would bring the most profit on a larger scale with major connections. You also have to have the skill of marketing, or the money for it, under your belt to even get the cash flow you need to maintain such a high productivity. In my opinion. I'm dreaming of starting an orchard/garden and my main outlook on it is the experience people have there. If people don't get much out of it and you don't know how to put yourself out there you won't make much out of what you make.
There are tons doing it already. You can’t expect a large amount of human population to choose profit > people. Especially when there’s no people to run the operations on larger or small scales eventually due to exhaustion. Not wise advice to not put emphasis on anything “small scale” as it’ll always be the structure or base of any operation.
Microgreens seem to be a U.S. thing. Don't see a lot of those getting sold in Europe, people don't care about them, so definitely no market here. Maybe a bit of cress here and there, but that's it. I wonder why kitchen herbs aren't on the list though. At my local supermarket you can buy 3 small branches of fresh basil in a neat transparent plastic box for 3 euros. Probably the box costs more than the basil, but hey, my estimate is that we're talking 300 euros per kilogram.
You‘d need to find a way to sell you basil tho. Most supermarkets already have their supply of basil and other small kitchen herbs, which is delivered all year. So you‘d need to build a greenhouse to also provide these herbs in winter and as far as I noticed this video is primarily about plants that can grow outside. And in addition to that you would need the equipment to package and cool these herbs. Meanwhile most crops here (except the saffron, microgreens and mushrooms) can be easily grown outside and sold without you needing to put in as much work into packaging and processing, as they are either ornamental plants that are sold in the same pot you grow them in or foods that are sold to wholesalers or directly to cooks, which again cuts down on the need for packaging.
Despite the information in this vid, uts quite easy to grow in a pot and it's great grated on toast first thing in the morning. If you eat a lot maybe get several plants and you'll have a constant supply
While I'm here the info on the goji berry was incorrect also, it needs a heated matt pretty much for the first year, then maybe you might get it to take in the garden.
Hemp would be one of the most profitable crops to grow. And it's a heck of a lot easier to grow than ANY on this list. Btw can't stress enough how much I HATE computer generated voice overs.
I don't know much about the economics of hemp, but I do see bankruptcy after bankruptcy in the hemp business, including 3 large family farms near me who converted some or all of their farms into hemp production
To be honest, my main objective as a farmer wouldn't be to make a lot of money, but to be in contact with Mother Nature, to praise her and thank her. And try to give back. Humans always take and take from the Earth, and very rarely give back. Ok, you need to make a living, you don't want to run around barefoot because you can't afford shoes, and you don't want to die of exhaustion. So you need to consider the business side of farming. But apart from that, isn't it more important to respect and feel Mother Nature?
@Allan Vega ever heard of organic farming or no till farming. till 25 years back, monsanto had to struggle to sell Round-up; farmers simply refused to to use it ( "because it would destroy everything other than wheat"). many plants which grew naturally with wheat were eaten as veggies & had a very high nutritive value. ( now, them gone; every other person has one or other 'deficiency disorder'. thank god that people realised it & are returning back to the traditional practices, slowly but steadily !
But the reality is the demand and market. The high prices for the items is due to low demand. So low that they are out of boundaries of supply / demand theory.
Yes, a thin market demand that can quickly be overwhelmed by too much supply, leaving the producer with perishable unsold produce...know your market & prduction capability before scaling up.
Appears to me that farmers of any produce always work hard a deserve more respect nothing comes easy for working farmers, because nine times out of ten they always struggle to get started . Please do not under rate them
Awesome video. Thanks. Wish bamboo was not so invasive. Wonder if grown in containers on concrete floor would stop it from invading the whole land (and the neighborhood 😄😅)

So did I. All my teenaged son talks about is growing weed and smoking it. I'm so sick of hearing about weed if it's not being used for medicinal reasons. smh.
I was brought up on farms... dairy, lucerne, vegetables (beans, peas, capsicums corn) and beef at different times in my life, and it is VERY difficult to make regular steady income. The more exotic that you go, the harder it is.
Nice video...I think gensing is an awesome crop to grow. This crop have good market all around the world. But many countries are not trying to explore this crop.
The cost per acre in a field would cost $30000 to $50000 when one figures in all cost. Shade, seed ,mulch, chemicals, labor we haven't include equipment cost.
My idea is a pomegranate farm as I plan to use the plants to form a hedge around my yard which is 1.33 acres. I also live in the desert and Pomegranates do well in deserts.
I would recommend to plant rice, wheat or that kind of crops other than coconuts. Because coconuts are best grown on tropical areas like south India, Indonesia, Srilanka, Madagaskar etc.
Farming is not easy for sure / If you have crop depend on the soil and whether if livestock could get disease etc/. Greeting From Transylvania, Romania / We hardly make enough money for food
I heard a wheat farmer in Saskatchewan who has a large operation. He siad when it is harvest time they are pulling in $60 000/day of wholesale wheat! So let's put wheat on the list and don't get me started on potatoes! Those guys are killing it!
More to the point, price/unit or profit margin is only 1 component of income, it must be multiplied by volume. Challenge is to balance the crop to your available resources & market.
Just a short PSA: the plant shown just as the video transitions into talking about bamboo is not a bamboo at all, it's not even an angiosperm. That strange looking plant is a kind of horsetail called a scouring rush (Equisetum hyemale).
Surprised to not see sugar cane on the list. Here in Australia, sugar cane has made more millionaires (and several billionaires) than any other crop. There are massive (10,000 acre+) farms across north-east Australia. They even build railways to their farms to transport the crop to the cities.
Hi, Sugar cane is not added because, here this list is made according to profit per acre scale. Sugar cane is having much lesser profit per acre than the listed ones.
There are plenty of profitable crops that you could grow on your 3 acre farm like saffron, lavender, or the ones in this video. Deciding which crops are right for your situation will depend on many different factors, besides the obvious ones such as climate and soil. Installing a diary farm also depends on many factors like investment amount, availability of good breed cows, lower priced cattle feed, milk market, etc.

Fresh mushrooms are 80% water, and when you remove that, you are left with a highly concentrated product, packed with flavor and nutrients. Unlike vegetables, which lose much of their nutritional value when processed, dried mushrooms retain all of their medicinal and immune-boosting properties.
@@working2bselfsufficient724 maybe, but lots of people don't bother learning the methods that would make it easy, and don't have the space or time. It might not be everywhere, but I do see it becoming more widespread in the near future. Not to mention if you're careful you can still ship to a city. Hy-vee has the "local growers" program, and most people even in the country live at least close enough to be eligible for the program.
Doing farm job in California weather is better more than other states in U.S . Another thing is market systems and local in California are various and many markets .

One bad season could bankrupt a farmer and dash away his dreams if farmers didn't diversify multiple crops. It's a tough and ridged life.
That's true...
Hemp would be one of the most profitable crops to grow. And it's a heck of a lot easier to grow than ANY on this list. Btw can't stress enough how much I HATE computer generated voice overs.
Problem with Hemp is that most states have regulated it so much you have to already be wealthy to do it. KY being a great example.
I don't know much about the economics of hemp, but I do see bankruptcy after bankruptcy in the hemp business, including 3 large family farms near me who converted some or all of their farms into hemp production
To be honest, my main objective as a farmer wouldn't be to make a lot of money, but to be in contact with Mother Nature, to praise her and thank her. And try to give back. Humans always take and take from the Earth, and very rarely give back.
Ok, you need to make a living, you don't want to run around barefoot because you can't afford shoes, and you don't want to die of exhaustion. So you need to consider the business side of farming.
But apart from that, isn't it more important to respect and feel Mother Nature?
@Allan Vega ever heard of organic farming or no till farming.
till 25 years back, monsanto had to struggle to sell Round-up; farmers simply refused to to use it ( "because it would destroy everything other than wheat").
many plants which grew naturally with wheat were eaten as veggies & had a very high nutritive value. ( now, them gone; every other person has one or other 'deficiency disorder'.
thank god that people realised it & are returning back to the traditional practices, slowly but steadily !
way to go Ana !👍
Money is nothing compared to loving what you do
You have a kind heart.❤️ May Mother Nature always bless you!
Agree with you so much. The farmers who do regenerative farmer heal the soil and gain so much back by protecting their farm from drought
But the reality is the demand and market. The high prices for the items is due to low demand. So low that they are out of boundaries of supply / demand theory.
Yes, a thin market demand that can quickly be overwhelmed by too much supply, leaving the producer with perishable unsold produce...know your market & prduction capability before scaling up.
It will still depend on the demand in your area. Here in my country, I cannot mass produce wasabi because the demand here is very low to non-existing.
ill buy all of it
yeah, I'll give you my whole McDonald's salary!!
Thank you for this presentation. I have one problem 😕 in that the brevity left me with many unanswered questions. Mostly just detail 👌
How can I help you?
Great thanx then what about other crops beside bamboo for tropical areas like ginger & turmeric?
Start with 10 million and end up with One!
haha
Truth about any farming bussines
@@tinnie1835 Hail,drought you name it I been there.
@@mkuluclive3783 dont say its all fcked up man
😂 don't disappoint me please..coz am thinking of doing farming in near future
Appears to me that farmers of any produce always work hard a deserve more respect nothing comes easy for working farmers, because nine times out of ten they always struggle to get started . Please do not under rate them
What would you recommend to grow in North India(Haryana)? Except for wheat and rice
I was surprised by some of these like lavender, but the mushrooms and goji berries are some I knew would make the list.
Awesome video. Thanks. Wish bamboo was not so invasive. Wonder if grown in containers on concrete floor would stop it from invading the whole land (and the neighborhood 😄😅)

Grow clumping not spreading bamboo
@@agrohubfarms9019 live stock farming is killing the World! Try fruit or vegetable farms. The demand is becoming higher everyday.
@@0.0.0.0.1 livestock farm is a good farm to invest in
There are non invasive species :)
WOW what a wonderful idea , for people that has land , you can employ your own , make land that own work for you instead of just having a lot of land to just say that you have a lot of land , plus that helps everyone , what they have shown in this video very creative beautiful
Thank you for this video ,
@Paul Dionne just because you have land does not mean you can just start a farm. Lots more to it that just having a piece of land.
I loved your introduction..
Hehe
So did I. All my teenaged son talks about is growing weed and smoking it. I'm so sick of hearing about weed if it's not being used for medicinal reasons. smh.
I was brought up on farms... dairy, lucerne, vegetables (beans, peas, capsicums corn) and beef at different times in my life, and it is VERY difficult to make regular steady income.
The more exotic that you go, the harder it is.
Weather is an important for farmers businesses.
But then in some African countries where weather Is good, people have no knowledge and capital.
That is what Green houses are for !
I love the intro haha.
😂
Very informative, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice video...I think gensing is an awesome crop to grow. This crop have good market all around the world. But many countries are not trying to explore this crop.
Yes, you are right
The cost per acre in a field would cost $30000 to $50000 when one figures in all cost. Shade, seed ,mulch, chemicals, labor we haven't include equipment cost.
Dream on!!!
I am wondering if Caligonum Junceum could be grown in Texas for a profit? (Niche sales of the berries).
The problem is getting the seed.
Do you know how much work there is to make a bonsai?
Very good, what about Hemp?
Hemp is also good. We can make hempcrete from that. But profit from per acre land is less compared to these 10 crops. so we avoid that.
My idea is a pomegranate farm as I plan to use the plants to form a hedge around my yard which is 1.33 acres. I also live in the desert and Pomegranates do well in deserts.
Very good idea...Wishing all the very best for your farm...🥰
Plant also moringa for personal consumption.
This is awesome. But how does a farmer sell these and to who?
First 15 seconds is exactly why i kept watching this video
Thank you for showing that amazing strategies to us
Do you think that growing and selling flowers in a greenhouse is a good idea for some extra cash?
With the way our economy is heading, you may want to grow food for your own consumption
I've been wanting to grow flowers for the longest time. I live in northern New Mexico. Do you have an idea of type of flowers I can grow here?
Ya cactus ! ha ha ha ha ha !
Castus are very profitable to sell online
Lazio where are you at here in N. New Mexico? I am in La Plata. There are lots of flower that can be grown here. Cut flowers are some of the easiest.
@@MrJimrusk I'm in Mora county. Highlands jus a few miles from Mora
Succulents
What would you recommend to grow in Central India? Rice and coconuts?
I would recommend to plant rice, wheat or that kind of crops other than coconuts. Because coconuts are best grown on tropical areas like south India, Indonesia, Srilanka, Madagaskar etc.
If farming is so lucrative then why aren't we all rich ?
Because we're surfing the internet
How to grow mushrooms I wish to learn more about it
i think is in a green house
Just type it into the question box, you can learn anything on UA-cam.
Ginseng and black ginger its so hard to sell
Great info and video! Keep em coming.
Thanks! Will do!
What about truffles, i know they can be considered mushrooms, but they weren't even mentioned?
Farming is not easy for sure / If you have crop depend on the soil and whether if livestock could get disease etc/. Greeting From Transylvania, Romania / We hardly make enough money for food
The energy costs for climate control are astronomical.
Permaculture, Multi-player farming Akash chaurasiya, JADAM, Regenerative Agriculture, Vertical Farming....... And many other cheap solutions :)
##yes
You are a wonderful person. As such I'm going to subscribe to your channel. Stay focussed and you'll soon hit your 1,000.
Wow, thank you!
He stole this list from grocycle
Hi Gigi^°
Ok! I go grow mushroom under my bed...
There is still a stigma attached to Saffron.
Ba dum tss
Why? Is it because it gets you high?
I heard a wheat farmer in Saskatchewan who has a large operation. He siad when it is harvest time they are pulling in $60 000/day of wholesale wheat!
So let's put wheat on the list and don't get me started on potatoes! Those guys are killing it!
Crack head advice
Isn't harvest time like just a few days?
More to the point, price/unit or profit margin is only 1 component of income, it must be multiplied by volume. Challenge is to balance the crop to your available resources & market.
Thank You for the List, most informative 👍
Thank u
Just a short PSA: the plant shown just as the video transitions into talking about bamboo is not a bamboo at all, it's not even an angiosperm. That strange looking plant is a kind of horsetail called a scouring rush (Equisetum hyemale).
Surprised to not see sugar cane on the list. Here in Australia, sugar cane has made more millionaires (and several billionaires) than any other crop. There are massive (10,000 acre+) farms across north-east Australia. They even build railways to their farms to transport the crop to the cities.
Hi,
Sugar cane is not added because, here this list is made according to profit per acre scale. Sugar cane is having much lesser profit per acre than the listed ones.
@@EcoSnooki Thanks mate
Dude, that intro"YOU CAN SKIP VIDEO"
I have inherited 3 acres of land and I was thinking either going in go saffron or cows/Dairy Farm
There are plenty of profitable crops that you could grow on your 3 acre farm like saffron, lavender, or the ones in this video.
Deciding which crops are right for your situation will depend on many different factors, besides the obvious ones such as climate and soil.
Installing a diary farm also depends on many factors like investment amount, availability of good breed cows, lower priced cattle feed, milk market, etc.
Yes, farming is the hardest thing to do... Try Padi farming...
Good job!! Well done. Are berries growable in the tropics? I wonder...
Thank u...Bro..Almost all berries are growable in the tropics with controlled atmosphere setup.
How about agar wood or lapnisan
Income per unit area per unit time is lesser for agar wood and lapnisan compared to the ones in this list.
Glory and Praises and Honor and Worship be to God for all things He created. Oh His great creation is beautiful. God is a true artist, He’s a painter. God created nature. God bless you all. May you all be safe healed and protected in Jesux Mighty Name Amen.
Amen! the same for you!
Why a 'he' or 'she' for that matter?
@@648Roland bahaha hahahahaha.. 🤣😅.. my beautiful wife..
If you redeem your self in a few thousand years more.. hmmm... how I wish to be with you again..😔
thanks for your infomation
So nice of you
can't mushrooms be sold dried? or made into powder?
Fresh mushrooms are 80% water, and when you remove that, you are left with a highly concentrated product, packed with flavor and nutrients. Unlike vegetables, which lose much of their nutritional value when processed, dried mushrooms retain all of their medicinal and immune-boosting properties.
@@EcoSnooki so then it can be grown for export
If you're farming to become a millionaire, I dont think you're farming for the right reasons
Agree!! The title made me laugh and only came here to read the comments. No interest in the vid at all.
True
Good
Microgreen is highly profitable but market size is limited to city limits only.
That will probably change within a year
@@EcoSnooki Doubt it, too easy to grow for those not in a city.
@@working2bselfsufficient724 maybe, but lots of people don't bother learning the methods that would make it easy, and don't have the space or time. It might not be everywhere, but I do see it becoming more widespread in the near future. Not to mention if you're careful you can still ship to a city. Hy-vee has the "local growers" program, and most people even in the country live at least close enough to be eligible for the program.
U-pick strawberries ?
🙂 No buddy....
Wild lettuce, Chinese greens, nettle, milk thistle, agave
Doing farm job in California weather is better more than other states in U.S . Another thing is market systems and local in California are various and many markets . Sometimes other farms in another states are affected by weather attack. The farmers in California could adjust price up for their vegetables .
What about all those forest fires and do the earthquakes affect the farms at all? I'm in Virginia and Virginia was first known for its farmland. Farms can be successful anywhere and are needed everywhere because more and more people want locally grown food, etc.
Thankyou for making the video.
"Can withstand both cold winters and cold summers" lol 🤣🤣🤣
I really appreciate the intentions of this video! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
...and WHERE IS the market for these crops? It's not like I can take the harvested gensing/lavender/wasabi/bonsai/'shrooms to my local grain elevator. What then?
Ok fine video . Helpful for all. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
is hop shoots legal?
We are also doing cultivating organic vegetables, coffee, pepper,, ginger. But our Government is not giving any feedback, or support. That's what we all are in failure. Gov is supporting corporates. If you have any job please help.
