Kundru (Ivy Gourd) cultivation is proving to be a boon for farmers. This crop is not only low-cost but also provides year-round production, ensuring consistent profits. If managed properly, a single acre can generate ₹3–5 lakh annually for farmers.
Farmers cultivating Kundru report that it is a “source of year-round income.” Once planted, the crop continues to yield for 2–3 years. Kundru enjoys steady demand in the market, as it is a popular vegetable. Currently, Kundru is priced at around ₹30 per kg.
On a single acre, farmers can harvest 3–4 quintals per week, translating to ₹40,000–₹60,000 monthly and an annual income of ₹4–5 lakh.
The cost of setting up Kundru cultivation, including seeds, fertilizers, field preparation, mulching, and drip irrigation, is roughly ₹70,000 per acre. This cost can be reduced if the soil is naturally fertile and farmers follow traditional methods.
Key to success: Effective pest and disease management ensures healthy yield.

Kundru farming is a low-cost, high-income crop. Once established, it produces yields every season, providing steady earnings and financial stability for farmers. This is why Kundru cultivation is making many farmers millionaires in the making.
