Tridge summary

Heavy rainfalls in Himachal Pradesh, a major tomato supplier to north Indian markets, have caused crop damage and disrupted the supply chain, leading to a potential sharp increase in tomato prices. The India Meteorological Department predicts continued heavy rainfall in the region until August 7. The National Cooperative Consumers' Federation of India (NCCF) will sell tomatoes at a subsidized rate in the Delhi-NCR region from July 29 to offset the price hike. The article also notes that monsoon rains often cause a surge in vegetable prices due to harvesting and transportation issues, and that tomato prices in India began rising in June due to heatwave conditions damaging horticulture crops.
