Mining is getting more and more profitable, especially BTC mining. According to cmc, all other mining options are still bringing you around 90 bucks per months by investing 1k USD and in my opinion it is not worth it yet.
maybe your place can be profitable if calculated with operational costs with income in mining is different from my place maybe operational costs are not comparable with the results obtained by mining investment and maybe in my country mining is not so desirable and they tend to trade or participate in campaigns to follow bounties and benefit
