There is growing interest in the development of commercial donkey farming in the Northern Territory (NT).

An assessment has been done on the potential for donkey farming including a gross margin analysis i.e. the gross income produced less the variable costs of production. The analysis serves as a guide to the relative profitability of different donkey farming options, as well as beef cattle farming.
