Tomato Prices in Tamil Nadu Surge to Rs 200 Per Kg, Predicted to Rise Further

Tomato prices in Tamil Nadu have reached a record high of Rs 200 per kilogram in the wholesale market. Certain retail shops are selling tomatoes at a slightly lower price of Rs 185 per kilogram. Traders predict that the price may soar further to Rs 250 per kilogram within a week. The surge in tomato prices is attributed to heavy rainfall causing crop losses in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, resulting in a shortage of tomato supply. The impact of the soaring prices is not limited to Tamil Nadu, as cities like Delhi-NCR have also witnessed an increase in tomato prices. Fast-food restaurant franchise Subway has temporarily suspended the use of tomatoes in their menu due to the difficulty in sourcing sufficient tomatoes that meet their quality standards. Other establishments, such as McDonald’s, have also faced issues with tomato supply.
