How the soil score worksMoney
Yield: about 148 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 ₹2,375 a quintal across mandis in your state.
Prices are usually best in May.
Typical costs are about ₹1.6 lakh an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
