Farmers Happy with tomato prices?

After the lockdown, due to the sudden jump in the prices of tomatoes, the faces of farmers have returned. These days hundreds of tonnes of Tomato, Capsicum and Frasbean are being sent from low-lying areas of Mashobra block of Shimla district of Himachal Pradesh to various mandis of the state and the country. Red gold tomato prices have increased three times in a week

In the initial phase, tomato was selling at Rs 5 to 7 per kg. Due to this the rent of the farmers' car was also not being met. Due to the arrival of tomatoes in huge quantity from Haryana in various mandis of the country, the prices had come down considerably. Haryana season is about to end now. In such a situation, the farmers of the state expect the rate of tomato to reach Rs 50 per kg.

In the state's biggest vegetable market Solan, during the last year, a crate of Himsona tomato was sold for Rs. Most of the tomato and other cash crops are produced in the villages of Epiran, Trahai, Nova, Lakhoti, Dublu, Talenji, Gowda, Shargaon and Neineti villages of Junga region. About ten vehicles are being sent daily from these areas to different mandis.
