Tomato

The price of tomatoes increased in Chennai, due to incessant rains which damaged the crop in Tamil Nadu. In Chennai's Koyambedu wholesale market, tomatoes were sold at Rs 90/kg on December 4 which increased to Rs 100/kg on December 5. “Market has shown a sudden rise in the prices of tomato and this will have a spiral effect," said M. Thiagarajan, President of Koyambedu Fruits and Vegetable merchants association.
