Posted on: 26/Nov/2021 1:30:57 PM
With the increased arrival of large quantities of tomatoes from different places to the Chennai Metro City Koyambedu wholesale vegetable sales market complex, the price of tomatoes went down quite steeply and is now being sold at Rs. 30/- per kg!

Due to the persistent heavy northeast monsoon rainy seasonal downpour over the last few days, the arrival of sufficient quantities of tomato could not arrive at the Chennai Met4ro City Koyambedu wholesale vegetable market and as such, the price of tomatoes shot up steeply!

Tomato was being sold at a very high price of Rs. 140/- per kg over the last 4 days! The price came down by Rs. 50 per kg yesterday (Thursday, 25th November) and it was sold at Rs. 90/- per kg.

In the above scenario, as for today (Friday, 26th November),  the price of tomato has reduced sensationally by Rs. 100/- per kg! As such, the wholesale price of tomato was sold at Rs. 30/- to Rs. 35/- per kg and on retail, the price has been fixed at Rs. 40/- per kg!

It has also been informed that in case of purchasing boxes of tomatoes, they will be sold at Rs. 30/- to Rs. 35/- per kg.

Moreover, WITH OVER 850 TONS OF TOMATOES HAVING ARRIVED IN 58 TRUCKS FROM THE STATES OF ANDHRA, KARNATAKA, AND MAHARASHTRA, THE SALES OF TOMATOES HAVE PICKED UP!

Further, as there is a severe shortage for the arrival of varieties of green, the shortage of green varieties is still prevailing!
