is turai worth growing for the market, what fruit yield per acre and rate range
2 जवाब
Ridge gourd (turai) 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 in the season and when supply is short, and falls during the peak season glut, like all vegetables. A trellised crop with clean straight fruit fetches a better rate than ground grown curved or spotted fruit. Profit can be decent for a market grower with steady local demand, but picking labour and transport are real costs. Because prices swing, sell staggered lots rather than all at once. Check your local market rate and ask nearby growers for realistic yields and costs before planting a large area rather than assuming peak prices.
Early season turai gets the best rate before everyone has it. The trellised clean fruit sells better than the curved ground ones. Picking is frequent so plan the labour.
