Due to the excessive scorching heat in the summer, the yield of tomatoes decreased considerably as explained by a few. And another explanation was that the farmers who grew tomatoes stopped it as they could not get their desired price for the tomatoes!

Generally, 500 tons of tomatoes arrive daily at the Koyambedu wholesale Vegetable, fruits & flowers Supermarket. In recent times, the arrival of tomatoes was far less than 300 tons, so the price increased!
