The Consumer Affairs Ministry has shed light on the primary factors contributing to the seasonality of tomato prices, attributing it to the cycle of planting and harvesting seasons, as well as regional variations.

In response to the high prices of tomatoes, the government has taken action by announcing the sale of tomatoes at discounted rates in retail markets in the national capital and select cities starting from Friday.
