Tomatoes out of commoners’ reach in India; selling at over Rs 100

The Fact News Service

New Delhi, July 6

Tomators are now red-hot and burning a hole in the common people’s pockets as the prices have skyrocketed and are being sold at over Rs 100 per kg in several key cities.

Many attribute the sharp rise in the vegetable to heatwaves in key tomato-growing areas and heavy rains, as well, as disruption in supply chains. Tomatoes, which have a relatively lower shelf life, could also have put pressure on their prices. In Chennai, tomatoes are currently selling at Rs 100-130 per kg.
