Price of Tomato crosses Rs 100 per kg in Bengaluru (26/06)
The price of tomatoes has skyrocketed in Bengaluru, with the vegetable now selling at Rs 100 per kilogram in some markets. This is a significant increase from the price of tomatoes just a few weeks ago, when they were selling for around Rs 40 per kilogram.
The sharp rise in tomato prices is being attributed to a number of factors, including heavy rains in Karnataka and neighboring states, which have damaged tomato crops. In addition, the ongoing war in Ukraine has disrupted global supply chains, making it more difficult to import tomatoes into India.
The rising cost of tomatoes is a major concern for consumers in Bengaluru, as it is a staple ingredient in many dishes. The government has urged traders to keep the prices of tomatoes under control, but it remains to be seen whether this will be successful.
