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.

On rain alone it gets about 85% of the water it needs, so the money here is worked at 85% of this yield.

Mandi price at last season's harvest (February–April 2026): about ₹8,550 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.
