Black Soldier Fly (BSF) farming is poised to provide high quality affordable alternative protein sources for animal feed production. This study aimed to assess determinants of profitability of the BSF enterprise. There is a need for more research at the commercial level. Due to limitations of the COVID-19 pandemic, in-depth interviews were conducted as there were few respondents. The mathematical model shows a strong positive correlation between the dependent (BSF farm enterprise gross margin) and independent variables (substrate, labour, farm size, level of education, household size, age and experience), with substrate and household size having a significantly positive relation.
