Tomato Price Reaches Rs 200 Per kg in Tamil Nadu
Chennai: There seems to be no respite for the people from the rising prices of tomatoes in Tamil Nadu as the wholesale price of the vegetable touched Rs 200 per kilogram in the state capital and many towns on Sunday.
The shortage of the product in the Koyambedu wholesale market in Chennai has led to the spiraling price rise of tomatoes. P.V. Ahmad, a wholesale vegetable dealer in the Koyambedu market while speaking to the media said, “There is a shortage in the arrival of tomatoes from Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh due to the heavy losses in crops due to intermittent rain in these states.
Heavy rain has led to a total loss of crops and hence the shortage in the arrival of tomatoes. This has led to the hike in prices of tomatoes in the market.”
