What income range can amaranthus (chaulai) give and is it worth growing?

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.
