Money

Yield: about 13 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).

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 (January–February 2026): about ₹4,875 a quintal at mandis in your district.

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 ₹34,000 a year after typical costs.

Prices are usually best in May.

Typical costs are about ₹19,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
