Money

Yield: about 60 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.

Mandi price at last season's harvest (December 2025–February 2026): about ₹3,000 a quintal across India's mandis.

This week: about ₹4,000 a quintal, the middle of 128 mandis across India (latest 13 Nov). At that price an acre would leave about ₹1.5 lakh a year after typical costs.

Prices are usually best in June.

Typical costs are about ₹86,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
