0

Tomato prices have once again skyrocketed, with the vegetable now selling at over Rs 100 per kg in several markets. Farmers in Nashik, a major tomato-growing region, have reported that 20 kg crates of tomatoes are now fetching Rs1,500 to Rs1,600 in farm markets. The recent spike in tomato prices can be attributed to unseasonal rains that have damaged key crops in farming areas, particularly in Maharashtra.

In response to these price hikes, the government has launched its market intervention through the price stabilisation fund. The initiative aims to stabilise prices in the retail market . Farmers in major tomato producing states like Andrapradesh, Gujarat, Maharastra and Chhattisgarh have reported delays in sowing for the kharif Tomato season. Moreover,pest and disease outbreaks in Maharashtra have crossed the economy threshold, further reducing supply.
