Date cultivation

You can grow amla(Perunelli) which is drought resistant and giving good revenue, you can make drip irrigation.you can plant 400 plant per acre you can get around 50 kg fresh fruit per plant. if you calculate 50% yield. you will get 10ton fruit from third year onwards. If your consider Rs 20 / kg fresh fruit for 10 tons you will get 2 lakh per year from one acre. Similarly your area is famous for mango you can plant mango with drip irrigation your friut quality will be very nice.
You can also grow date, it will take more than 5 years to get yield, one person trained from gulf is maintaining Date nursery near Thippampatty - Dharmapuri bus rout. you can saw his date plants and saplings. we do not have much experience in our climate, we should estimate the yield and response of the plant then expand to vast area.

Palm cultivation in Tanil Nadu.

In several parts of Kerala and Tamil Nadu the cultivation of Dates Palm is presently available. You can get the world's best quality dates from this region. Presently the best quality is known as the French products. We can produce better than that one. Only thing you have to select the verity. But I suggest you to go for Dooriyan, Rambuttan and Mangostein fruits as they are giving better income with low water consumption. So just think about the plantation before starting the Palm plantation.

Palm cultivation

Dear Padmanaban

I am also in Gulf and have done some feasibility excercise on Dates in our area (Tamil Nadu) and if you want really some good output, water + regular & quality maintenance are required. The climate & season in Gulf suits Dates but in TN you have to make it work with human intervention. So if you have proper people & money you can do wonders. There are couple of people doing it successfully in TN and if you are really interested I can find their contacts in order for you to get more inputs.

Do let me know your interest by PM

Best regards
Kalyan
