What yield and income range can an orange (santra) orchard give?

A santra orchard takes a few years to come into proper bearing and reaches good yields as the trees mature, with per acre fruit yield depending heavily on tree health, the bahar (flowering season) managed, water and disease control. Greening and dieback are the biggest threats to long term yield. Prices vary by fruit size, season and whether you sell at the orchard to a contractor or grade and sell yourself, with the ambia and mrig bahars fetching different rates. Because it is a long term investment, plan early year intercrops and reliable irrigation. Check current orchard and market rates locally and ask established santra growers for realistic per acre yields and costs before planting.
