Tomatoes in Delhi-NCR are available for Rs 90. A government agency purchased them for Rs 130, but is now selling them at a discount

On Friday, July 14, the Central Government put into effect a plan to lower the rising tomato prices in Delhi-NCR

. In accordance with this plan, tomatoes are being sold in the city for Rs 90 per kg by the agricultural marketing organisation National Cooperative Consumer Federation of India (NCCF).

Tomatoes are currently being sold for Rs 200 per kg all over the nation. The government will soon begin selling tomatoes cheaply in other cities in addition to Delhi-NCR.

The NCCF posted images and videos of the tomato sale.

Recognise the three points of the cheap tomato sales scheme…

On Friday, the first day of sales for NCCF Delhi, tomatoes will be available at Rajnigandha Chowk, Karol Bagh, Patel Nagar, Pusa Road, Nehru Place CGO, Noida Sector 78, Pari Chowk, and Patel Nagar.

The selling price of tomatoes has been set at Rs 90 per kg, while the procurement rate is Rs 120–130 per kg, according to NCCF Managing Director Anees Joseph Chandra. The loss as a result will be borne by the central government.

About 60% of the total production is contributed by the southern and western regions.

Almost all of the Indian states produce tomatoes. While the southern and western regions account for about 60% of the nation’s total production. To guarantee a constant supply of tomatoes to other areas of India, these regions use their excess production.

Due to a decrease in tomato production during the monsoon, prices have increased.

The level of production varies by region and season and is either lower or higher. Tomato production peaks in the majority of the nation’s regions between December and February. In October and November, tomato production is lower than in July and August. Tomato production decreases as the monsoon season begins in July, and prices rise as a result.
