From the little research that i have done there are a few high value crops which could yield results - example Basil - is a high value crop which has a market rate ranging between 150 - 400 and the production can be harvested every month, same for salad crops which can be sold to upmarket stores.
I am sure there are many more crops which people can think about and add.
These are all short term crops and price is not matching to the condition that cost should not below Rs.200/- per k.g.
Can any one come up with highly profitable crop?
