Why, and how to make it work

Water

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

Needs about 1,270 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 340 mm it can use in a normal year, and 260 mm in a dry year.

Temperature

Grows best at 20–33 °C on average, and survives 10–45 °C.

Here, in its growing months (day / night):

  • Jun 40 °C / 28 °C (outside its best range)
  • Jul 36 °C / 27 °C
  • Aug 34 °C / 27 °C
  • Sep 34 °C / 25 °C
  • Oct 33 °C / 20 °C
  • Nov 28 °C / 14 °C
  • Dec 23 °C / 9 °C (outside its best range)
  • Jan 20 °C / 8 °C (outside its best range)
  • Feb 25 °C / 11 °C (outside its best range)
  • Mar 31 °C / 16 °C
  • Apr 37 °C / 22 °C
  • May 40 °C / 26 °C (outside its best range)
  • Jun 40 °C / 28 °C (outside its best range)

Months in orange are outside its best range.

Soil

Likes pH 5.5–7.5. We have no pH figures for this place.

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.

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 this season's harvest so far (November 2026): about ₹4,000 a quintal across mandis in your state.

This week: about ₹4,000 a quintal, the middle of 128 mandis across India (latest 13 Nov).

Average mandi price each year (₹ a quintal):
  1. ₹3,250 2022
  2. ₹3,660 2023
  3. ₹3,480 2024
  4. ₹4,180 2025

Prices are usually best in September.

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.

This week guava sells at about ₹4,000 a quintal: India's middle price at 128 mandis, latest 13 Nov. At that price an acre would leave about ₹1,54,300 a year.

A good year or field earns about a fifth more, a poor one a fifth less: ₹1,44,100 to ₹2,16,100 income an acre. Costs stay the same either way.

It bears from about year 2: nothing to sell before.
