Money

Yield: about 43 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district). Government figures count it with lime.

A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 3 years. The money here is for plants already bearing.

Mandi price through the year (December 2025–November 2026): about ₹6,250 a quintal across India's mandis.

This week: about ₹7,500 a quintal, the middle of 145 mandis across India (latest 13 Nov). At that price an acre would leave about ₹2.2 lakh a year after typical costs.

Prices swing a lot from year to year, so income can be well above or below this range.

Prices are usually best in April.

Typical costs are about ₹1.0 lakh an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2023–2025), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
