Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Rain falls about 6 irrigations (5 cm each) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.
Needs about 1,200 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 910 mm it can use in a normal year, and 750 mm in a dry year.
Temperature
Grows best at 22–34 °C on average, and survives 14–38 °C.

Money
Yield: about 16 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).
A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 5 years. The money here is for plants already bearing.
On rain alone it gets about 76% of the water it needs, so the money here is worked at 76% of this yield.
Mandi price through the year (December 2025–May 2026, July–November 2026): about ₹5,000 a quintal across India's mandis.
This week: about ₹5,000 a quintal, the middle of 70 mandis across India (latest 13 Nov). At that price an acre would leave about ₹35,000 a year after typical costs.

Prices are usually best in December.
Typical costs are about ₹27,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2023–2025), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
