After a sharp rise, tomato prices to come down soon

Op India  

Tomato prices are on the rise for almost two months now, which started to increase since the end of September. The rise in tomato prices was first caused by unseasonal rains in northern producing states of Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh, which led to damage of crops and delay of arrival of tomatoes from these states. This was followed by heavy rains in southern states like Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka, which again resulted in crop damage and led to disruptions in tomato supply. Price as of 25.11.21 1 Month back 25.10.21 1 Year back 25.11.20 5 Year average % variation over 1 Month % variation over 1 Year % variation over 5-year average 66.61 50.00 40.95 29.55 33.22 62.66 125.41 This has led Crisil Research to predict that tomatoes will continue to be a costly vegetable for two more months.
