What yield and price range does snake gourd (chichinda) give per acre?

Snake gourd (chichinda) is picked over many rounds, so a well managed trellised crop gives a good tonnage of fruit per acre across the season. The rate is best early and when supply is short, and falls during the peak glut like all gourds. Long, straight, tender fruit fetches a better rate than curled or overgrown fruit, which is why the pandal and tip weighting matter. It has firm demand in the south and east where it is a popular vegetable, so check your market wants it. Profit is moderate for a market grower with steady local demand, with frequent 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.
