Money

Yield: about 106 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 5 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 (April–May 2026): about ₹2,088 a quintal across mandis in your state.

Prices are usually best in February.

Typical costs are about ₹1.2 lakh an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
