Tomato farmers face trouble as prices plummet Business April 1, 2021 KARACHI: Tomato farmers have slammed the lack of any horticulture policy and urged the government to provide necessary infrastructure for storage and value-addition along with guaranteed crop sales if they wanted them to continue sowing tomatoes. Speaking to The News about rates, Atta Chandio, a grower, said the tomato crop was passing through its last leg in Badin due to increasing heat. “Rate increased to Rs100 to Rs150 per 15kg few days back, but now it is being sold at Rs50/15kg.” Production of tomato increased in Badin over the last three years. However, price remains a problem as traders were the ones who fixed lower rates. Chandio said lower price was understandable when production was high, but at the end of the season price should technically go up.
