Retail tomato prices in India have dropped 22.4% in a month due to increased supply, with the all-India average retail price now at Rs 52.35 per kg. This decline is mirrored in wholesale prices at major markets, including Azadpur mandi in Delhi, where prices have halved. The 4% projected increase in tomato production for 2023-24, despite seasonal and logistical challenges, is expected to contribute to stabilizing prices. The Consumer Affairs Ministry has emphasized that favorable weather and an efficient supply chain are crucial in maintaining low prices for the perishable crop.
