The price of tomatoes skyrocketed to Rs 100 / kg in the HYD market

Hyderabad: Rasam, Sambar and other dishes are expensive with tomato prices skyrocketing to Rs 100 per kg in the city market.
Unrelenting rain destroying neighboring countries, including Andhra Pradesh, has resulted in massive plant losses, triggering tomato price increases.
November rain also affects the quality of all vegetables.
People have to deal with rotten inner layers, smaller size, less color and taste.
According to the agricultural marketing department, Hyderabad gets most of his tomatoes from Kurnool, Anantapur and Chittoor at Andhra Pradesh; Solapur in Maharashtra; And Chikbullapur in Karnataka.
In fact, Andhra Pradesh, from which the city gets Lion’s shares, is the largest producer in this country.
Because of rain at Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, tomatoes now the price is as much as gasoline in the city.
“The price of tomatoes has risen for the past few weeks.
Only a month ago, the price is less than Rs 50 per kg.
Now, I can buy almost half the kg of tomatoes for the price,” said Vidya Jyoti, a resident of West Maredpally.
Many Telugu households instead used acid as a substitute for tomatoes.
“Tomatoes are very important ingredients in Telugu cuisine.
From Rasam and Sambar to Dal, Telugu’s households are extensively using tomatoes.
Many now use acids as a substitute for tomatoes,” said Leela Vattipally, a cook.
“For the cost we pay, the quality of vegetables is bad.
Some vegetables such as cauliflower, brinjal is full of worms.
In some cases, the size and color of the vegetables is not in accordance with the sign,” said a consumer.
Even vendors say that in a box of one quintal tomato, almost five to six kg wasted because of poor vegetable quality.
“We buy vegetables for Rs 80 per kg from Rythu Bazar and sell it for Rs 100 to be able to get margins,” said the vendor in Mehdipatnam.
