The harvest of long-life tomatoes in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, has commenced, leading to a 50% increase in value with the price per kilo rising from R$3.50 to R$4.50 at Ceasa/RS. Most of the long-life tomatoes in the state are sourced from the Southeast and Central-West regions of Brazil, as the end of the tomato harvest in Minas Gerais has resulted in a reduction in supply and a rise in prices. The long-life tomatoes grown in Rio Grande do Sul are being sold at Ceasa/RS, and the production in protected environments ensures greater quality, contributing to the product's market value.
