Cockroach farming is apparently a booming business in China.

Chinese media Nandu Network recently reported on a woman who raises the scream-inducing critters as a side job. The strong-hearted 37-year-old, Yuan Mei-xia (袁美霞), works as a clerk at a pharmacy in Guangdong, southern China. She told reporters she learned dried roaches could be used as a form of medicine to combat cancer and decided to invest in the lucrative business.

Compared to raising more traditional livestock, raising cockroaches is a lot easier, Yuan said. Cockroaches can live in very unforgiving conditions and still reproduce quickly.

Yuan currently has about 100,000 roaches. She can harvest about 20 kilograms of mature roaches every two months and sells them for about US$72 per kilogram.

According to media reports, there are about 100 cockroach farms in China. Most roach farmers sell dried or powdered roaches to pharmaceutical or cosmetic companies, as they are a cheap source of protein.
