Money

Yield: about 22 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.

On rain alone it gets about 73% of the water it needs, so the money here is worked at 73% of this yield.

Mandi price at last season's harvest (May–June 2026): about ₹11,375 a quintal across India's mandis.

Prices are usually best in August.

Typical costs are about ₹98,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
