The retail prices of tomatoes are declining with the fall in mandi prices. The all-India average retail price as on 14th November 2024 was Rs.52.35 per kg which is 22.4% lower than Rs.67.50 per kg on 14th October 2024. During the same period, the modal prices at Azadpur mandi declined by almost 50%, from Rs.5,883 per quintal to Rs.2,969 per quintal with the increase in tomato arrivals. Bench benchmark markets such as Pimpalgaon, Madanapalle, and Kolar report a similar decline in mandi prices
The total annual production of tomatoes, as per the third advance estimate of the Department of Agriculture is 213.20 lakh tonnes in 2023-24; a 4% increase over 204.25 lakh tonnes in 2022-23. Even though tomatoes are produced throughout the year, there is seasonality in the production areas and the quantum of production. Adverse weather conditions and slight logistics disruptions significantly impact prices due to the high susceptibility of tomato crops and the high perishability of the fruit. The surge in tomato prices during October 2024 was due to excessive and prolonged rains in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.
The general seasonality in tomato production across various regions of India showed that October and November are the main sowing periods in major producing states. Continuous availability of tomatoes in the market, however, is ensured because of the short cultivation duration of the crop and multiple picking of the fruits.
