Are the high income claims for macadamia and exotic nuts in India realistic?

Be very cautious with viral high income claims for macadamia and other exotic nuts in India. These crops are climate restricted, suit only select hill pockets, take many years to bear, and have almost no organised buyer network or processing in India, so the per acre profit figures shown in many videos are not backed by real Indian commercial track records. Some sellers push expensive plants on the strength of such claims and farmers lose both money and years. If your climate genuinely suits it, treat exotic nuts as a small experimental trial under guidance from a horticulture university, not as a guaranteed money maker, and always line up who will buy your produce before planting. For most farmers, proven crops give safer returns. Verify any claim with a research station and existing local growers before spending money.
