Tomato Prices Rise

Rising vegetable prices: MPs from different political parties in the opposition held a protest against the price rise of onions and other vegetables, outside the parliament on Thursday.

Tomato prices soared to Rs 100 per kg in retail markets of the national capital on Saturday as adverse weather conditions in various parts of the country continue to affect supplies of the essential kitchen staple.

The average cost of a vegetarian thali became dearer by 10 per cent in June due to the jump in onion, potato, and tomato prices, a report said today.

The cost of a vegetarian thali became dearer by 7 per cent in March primarily due to the rise in onion, tomato, and potato prices, an arm of domestic rating agency Crisil said today.

Surging food prices have had a domino effect, materially changing India's inflation outlook.

The sale of subsidised onions began today through National Cooperative Consumer Federation of India (NCCF) outlets and vans in 10 select locations in the national capital.

Crisil's 'Roti Rice report' said that non-vegetarian thali was relatively less impacted by rising tomato prices and the cost of preparing one went up by only 13%.

Ranjitham, a daily wager earning six thousand rupees a month in Tamil Nadu's Villupuram district, has completely cut tomatoes from her menu as tomato prices crossed Rs 200 a kilo, a four-fold rise in just three weeks.

Vegetable prices in India are set to stay higher for longer, as erratic monsoon rains delayed planting and damaged ripening crops, farmers and traders said.

B Mahipal Reddy from Mohd Nagar village in Kaudipally mandal of Medak district on Tuesday said tomatoes worth one crore rupees are yet to be harvested in his fields.

The Union government has reduced prices of subsidised tomatoes to Rs 70 per kilograms from Thursday from Rs 80 per kg now to provide relief to common man from high retail prices.

Desi Ingredients for Indian Cooking: Tomato prices are soaring and we are looking for ways to cook without the vegetable. With these desi alternatives, it will be easier.

An eight-fold surge in tomato prices is making some farmers rich, although their windfall gains may be short-lived due to a likely rise in supplies in the coming weeks.

In a recent interview, actor-entrepreneur Suniel Shetty spoke about the impact of tomato price hike on his kitchen.

"We have to deal with such issues as well," said Suniel Shetty
