In addition, Karnataka, a major tomato supplier of tomatoes saw heavy rains that destroyed the crops. “There has been a 50 per cent decrease in tomato supply at the APMC market, resulting in higher demand and reduced supply. This has caused the prices to rise,” said a tomato trader at APMC.

Previously, tomatoes were available in the wholesale market at Rs. 18-28 per kg. However, on Thursday, they were being sold at Rs. 28-50 in the APMC market. Retail prices even reached up to Rs. 60 to Rs 80 per kg. While tomatoes from the state are still entering the market, the supply from Bangalore has completely stopped. Earlier, the market received 40-50 trucks of tomatoes, but with a decrease in production, only 50 per cent of the required supply is being received.
