The answer

is one of the pillars of Islam. Delaying it beyond its due time is an injustice, and one must hasten to pay it immediately, coupled with repentance. Grains and fruits are subject to Zakat if they reach the (threshold), and the obligatory amount is half of one-tenth (5%) if irrigation involves cost. It should be paid from the produce itself, or its monetary value if the produce has been sold and it is not possible to buy a similar amount. As for fruits and vegetables, there is no Zakat on them unless their proceeds reach the nisab and a full year has passed over them.
