Tomato prices rise as supply to retail outlets in city falls

The price of tomatoes in Pune has increased by over 200% in the last fortnight due to a decline in supply caused by heavy rainfall. Retail prices have risen from Rs 20-30 per kg to Rs 40-60 per kg, while wholesale prices have gone up from Rs 5-8 per kg to Rs 15-20 per kg. The shortage of tomatoes has affected household budgets and led to frustration among consumers. Farmers have also been impacted, with some unable to afford the costs of planting and transportation due to the earlier price crash.
