Tomato Prices Reached a High Peak: Due to a lack of supply, the price of tomatoes in the retail market has been announced at Rs.200 per kg. The tomatoes are currently being sourced from Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu. The current high prices are attributed to the sudden fall in April-May, which has forced many farmers to abandon their crops.
The unusually hot months of March and April saw insect attacks that affected production. Traders say that prices are likely to come down only if fresh produce arrives. Traders predict that its price will rise to Rs 250 per kg in the next week. As the sales have also decreased drastically, people are not buying tomatoes and are focusing on other vegetables
