Typhoon Makar and heavy rainfall in Shan State, specifically affecting the towns around Inle Lake, have caused severe floods, landslides, and other disasters, leading to the destruction of many planting areas. As a result, the production of tomatoes, a staple crop in the area, has been significantly impacted. The price of tomatoes has more than doubled, rising from 2,500 Myanmar Kyats to 4,200 Myanmar Kyats per bunch. Only a small number of tomatoes are being produced on well-maintained floating islands, and the market is now selling a mixture of tomatoes from floating islands and those grown on land.
