Tomato farmer Satyanarayan Patel, while talking to Local 18, said that he has planted tomato crop in one acre. It rained due to sudden change in weather. It remained cloudy for two-three days. Due to which the tomatoes immediately ripened and turned red. The arrival of local tomatoes has increased everywhere simultaneously. In such a situation, the prices of tomatoes fell. No businessman has come to the village to buy tomatoes for three days. When I spoke on phone, they said the price for one crate (40 kg) would be Rs 30.
