Tomato prices still ruling with Rs 60-75 per kg in most retail markets:

 

According to reports from the states, the rains have started receding in Karnataka, giving some respite to growers and traders. The supplies from the state will begin to improve, he said.

 

 

In the case of Uttar Pradesh, the part close to Uttarakhand is still affected due to rains while the western region closer to Delhi is recovering. There are mixed reports from Madhya Pradesh.

 

 

Singh said it is difficult to access the extent of damage of the kharif crop at present. But these states have huge area under tomato crop and the supplies could not reach mandis due to poor infrastructure and transportation.

 

 

The country’s tomato production is estimated to be higher by 15 per cent at 187 lakh tonnes in 2016-17 crop year (July- June), as per the government estimate.
