yours, Before this, the farmers are recovering from the loss of crops of paddy, tur and other vegetables. At the same time, the farmers are facing the loss of tomatoes. Tomato prices have fallen a lot for a few days. Tomatoes are being sold at a quarter to a quarter price. The average price is Rs 10 in the retail market, Rs 5 to 6 per kg in the wholesale market.
As a result, now the time has come for farmers to throw tomatoes on the road. Because the cost of production is also not happening. That’s why tomato has brought tears to the eyes of the farmers. Due to heavy rains this year, the kharif crop has suffered heavy losses. In such a situation, when the farmers were expecting that they would get compensation from the leafy vegetables saved with great effort, the prices of vegetables suddenly fell. Due to this the farmer is again in trouble. Tomato farmers have been hit the most. The time has come for Baliraja to throw the tomatoes on the road as the tomatoes planted in the fields are not getting the price in the market.
does not cover transportation costs
Tomato is a good yielding crop. That’s why tomato is cultivated in large quantities in the region. The price of tomato, which fetched good price last month, has fallen in a few days. This has broken the back of the farmers. Because the transportation cost of tomato growers is not being met.
sudden price drop
It costs more to plant tomatoes. In this too, farmers have to work day and night to maintain the crop. But when tomatoes came for sale in the market, the prices suddenly fell. The carat of tomato was being sold for 500 to 600 rupees. Today the same carat has to be sold for 100 to 200 rupees. It has also become difficult to recover the cost of production.
