Money

Yield: about 7.5 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).

On rain alone it gets about 75% of the water it needs, so the money here is worked at 75% of this yield.

Mandi price at last season's harvest (December 2025–January 2026): about ₹6,218 a quintal across India's mandis.

Prices are usually best in November.

Typical costs are about ₹24,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
