Why, and how to make it work Hide details
Water
Rain falls about 3 irrigations (5 cm each) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.

Money
Yield: about 14 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 87% of the water it needs, so the money here is worked at 87% of this yield.
Mandi price at last season's harvest (May–June 2026): about ₹11,375 a quintal across India's mandis.
- ₹8,000 2024
- ₹14,000 2025
Prices are usually best in August.
Typical costs are about ₹62,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
