Import Tomatoes News Today

Tomato prices in India have taken a sharp downward turn after reaching a peak of nearly Rs 300 per kg. Prices dropped to as low as Rs 14 per kg in the Mysuru APMC market, while in Bengaluru, prices ranged from Rs 30 to Rs 35 per kg. The decline is attributed to a slump in demand, with tomatoes being imported from Nepal.

Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday said that India will be importing tomatoes from Nepal, amid a record high surge in prices in the country. During her speech in Parliament, Sitharaman informed that the first lot of imports are likely to reach in Varanasi, Lucknow and Kanpur cities in northern India by Friday.
