Tomato Prices In Pune | Relief for Pune Consumers as Tomato Prices Fall Below Rs 100/kg
Pune: Tomato Prices In Pune | In a much-needed relief for consumers in Pune, tomato prices have finally dipped below the Rs 100/kg mark. Local dealers attribute this drop in prices to the introduction of new tomato crops from Nashik and certain areas of Ahmednagar. As the supply increases, traders predict a further decline in prices after August.
On Tuesday, a significant influx of tomatoes was witnessed at the Narayangaon wholesale market in Junnar, one of Maharashtra’s largest tomato marketplaces. A whopping 10,215 crates of tomatoes, with each crate holding 20 kg, were brought in on that day alone. This surge in supply has played a pivotal role in driving down tomato prices.
The situation stands in stark contrast to the end of June when consumers were grappling with soaring tomato prices ranging from Rs 50 to Rs 130 per kg. However, with the recent increase in tomato supply, the current prices have seen a considerable reduction, and tomatoes are now available in the market at prices varying from Rs 30 to Rs 110 per kg.
The decrease in prices comes as a relief to households, restaurants, and businesses that were feeling the impact of high tomato costs on their daily expenses. Tomatoes, being a staple ingredient in many Indian dishes, have a significant influence on overall food expenses.
According to local dealers, the arrival of new tomato crops from Nashik and Ahmednagar has played a crucial role in normalizing the prices. The increase in supply has brought much-needed stability to the tomato market in Pune and its neighboring areas.
