Tomato Prices Surged in Colombia During W13 Due to Supply Shortages

In W13, tomato prices increased sharply in key Colombian markets due to reduced supply from major producing regions. Western areas saw a 19% week-on-week (WoW) increase to USD 1.07 per kilogram (kg), while Neiva recorded a 16% WoW rise to USD 1.03/kg. The widespread shortage underscores the market's vulnerability to supply disruptions, highlighting the need for close monitoring of agricultural conditions and supply chain stability to manage price volatility and its impact on consumers.
