Is lemon (nimbu) farming profitable and what yield and price can I expect?

A lime (nimbu) orchard starts bearing a few years after planting and a mature tree gives a good number of fruits per year, with per acre yield rising as the orchard matures and depending on bahar management, water and disease control. The price swings sharply by season, with summer lemons fetching much higher rates than the monsoon glut, which is why bahar regulation to push fruit into summer is so valuable. Profit can be attractive for a well managed orchard but canker and greening can hurt long term yield. Check current market rates by season locally and ask established growers for realistic per acre yields and costs before planting rather than assuming peak summer prices.
