Money

Yield: about 5.2 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).

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 at last season's harvest (May–June 2026): about ₹11,809 a quintal across India's mandis.

This week: about ₹14,078 a quintal, the middle of 24 mandis across India (latest 13 Nov).

Prices are usually best in November.

Typical costs are about ₹17,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
