Grapes

Water

Too dry to grow on rain alone. It would need irrigation.

Needs about 1,230 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 560 mm it can use in a normal year, and 440 mm in a dry year.

Temperature

Grows best at 18–30 °C on average, and survives 10–38 °C.

Soil

Soil for Grapes: 9 out of 10 (good).

• The pH here suits it.
• Many fields here are short of zinc, which it needs a lot.
• Many fields here are short of boron, which it needs a lot.

Likes pH 5.5–7.5.

Money

Yield: about 77 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).

A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 2 years. The money here is for plants already bearing.

Rain gives it too little of the water it needs, so there's no income figure on rain alone: grow it only with irrigation.

Mandi price at last season's harvest (February–April 2026): about ₹4,500 a quintal across mandis in your state.

Prices are usually best in October.

Typical costs are about ₹2.5 lakh an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
