Grasscutters are one of the most profitable mini-livestock that you can produce; they can get most or all of their food from eating grass. There’s a huge demand for them. Last year alone, grasscutters worth millions of naira were grown and sold. Not only is the demand high, but crossbreed grasscutters are very easy to raise. They grow fast and take about six months from start to reproduction time, and no full-time commitment is necessary.

You can still have a full-time job or other commitment and be a successful grasscutter farmer. If you have a few hours a week to spare, then you have enough time to produce grasscutters for huge profit.

So what kind of money can you make? Grasscutters are currently selling for about $10 to $15 per Kg in the international market and N2000 to N2500 per Kg locally. Fully grown grasscutter can weigh up to 5kg. A room space can produce, on average, 1000kg in a year. That’s around $10,000, or $15,000 or N2, 000,000 a year. Need more money? Expand the growing area to produce more grasscutters. Growing crossbreed grasscutters for profit is certainly not a get-rich-quick scheme, but you can make a nice income. So how do you get started in grasscutter farming?
