Which crop gives quick returns in 3 to 4 months?

For cash in 3 to 4 months you want short duration crops, and the fastest earners are leafy and quick vegetables, short duration pulses, and some fast field crops. Many leafy vegetables like spinach, coriander, fenugreek and amaranth are ready in around 30 to 50 days, and quick vegetables like radish, okra and cucurbits come within two to three months. Short duration green gram (moong) matures in about 60 to 70 days and also helps the soil. Among field crops, summer moong, some early maize and short duration paddy or vegetable cowpea fall in this window. The advantage of short duration crops is fast money and the chance to fit an extra crop in the year, but they often need intensive care, water and quick selling, and prices for vegetables can be very up and down. Use them to fill the gap between two main crops or to get cash flow, not as your only plan. Pick the crop and variety suited to your season and confirm the duration and current market price with your KVK and local mandi before sowing.
