is leafy chaulai worth growing near the city, what yield and rate, what about grain amaranth

Leafy amaranthus (chaulai) is a quick repeated cutting crop, so its strength is fast regular cash from tender greens rather than one big harvest, giving a good total leaf yield per acre across cuttings. Near a city the rate for fresh bunches is best when supply is short and lowest during a glut, and freshness decides the price. Grain amaranth is a separate crop with a small grain yield but a higher rate per kilo, lifted by the health food and millet trend, suited mainly to hill and dryland areas. Profit for leafy chaulai is good for a small market gardener with steady demand. Because rates swing, sell staggered lots. Check your local market and ask nearby growers for realistic income before deciding rather than assuming peak prices.
Leafy chaulai near the city is good steady money because it sells fresh in days and cuts again and again. I sell small lots daily so the rate does not crash on me. Grain amaranth is a different game in the hills.
