5. Lavender
Price per pound: $18 – $30
Although I’m not a fan of lavender myself, I know quite a few people who enjoy being surrounded by anything that smells of lavender, the next one on our list of most profitable crops in the world. You can earn a lot of money by producing lavender bags, aromatherapy oil, lavender soaps and other cosmetic products containing this magnificent plant. If you prefer simply growing lavender, you can be a supplier of raw lavender and let others do the rest of the work. Anyhow, you can earn some really good money by growing lavender.
