Money

Yield: about 25 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 3 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 through the year (December 2025–November 2026): about ₹15,000 a quintal across mandis in your state.

This week: about ₹13,000 a quintal, the middle of 3 mandis in your state (latest 13 Nov).

Prices are usually best in April.

Typical costs are about ₹98,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2023–2025), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
