What yield and price range does round gourd (tinda) give per acre?

Round gourd (tinda) is picked young over several rounds, so a well managed crop gives a moderate tonnage of fruit per acre across the season. The rate is best early in the season and when supply is short, especially the early summer crop, and falls during the peak glut. Tinda has good demand in north India where it is a popular vegetable, but it is more of a regional crop, so check that your market wants it. Tender, uniform, light green fruit fetches a better rate than overgrown seedy fruit. Profit is moderate for a market grower with local demand, with picking labour a real cost. Check your local market rate and ask nearby growers for realistic yields before planting a large area rather than assuming peak prices.
