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 2 years. The money here is for plants already bearing.

On rain alone it gets about 88% of the water it needs, so the money here is worked at 88% of this yield.

Mandi price at last season's harvest (January–March 2026): about ₹3,127 a quintal across India's mandis.

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

Prices are usually best in November.

Typical costs are about ₹37,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
