Tomato is a seasonal vegetable. In Chennai, February is when tomatoes are cheapest and sell at around Rs 12/- /kg (this year). There were reports of excess production and growers could not even afford to pick it and take the produce to the market and allowed the fruits to go waste. This happens almost every year. In summer it is often not available or the price is too high. This year, due to some manipulation, prices are even higher. But we can live without tomatoes. So why complain? Farmers should set up cooperatives and create cold storage facilities to store excess stocks and get a better price. Preservation and value addition at district level can reduce farmer's problems. They can negotiate with big food product companies which use tomatoes to produce ketchup and set up contracts with them for assured offtake of at least a part of their produce. Instead, they listen to local dynastic politicians and hang themselves. more
