Tomato Price Rise in India: These days the rapidly rising prices of tomatoes have loosened the pockets of the common man. The price of tomatoes has reached the seventh sky and the prices of other vegetables are also increasing rapidly, due to which the budget of the common man’s house has been completely shaken. In this case, if we talk about Uttarakhand, the price of tomatoes has reached more than Rs 200 per kg in many areas. Tomato is being sold at Rs 250 per kg in Gangotri Dham.
It is being told that due to heavy rains vegetables are not being supplied. Due to this, the prices of not only tomato, but also other vegetables like cauliflower, chilli, ginger etc. have increased. Due to the ever-increasing prices, the purchase of tomatoes has also been greatly affected. Those who used to buy 2 kg tomatoes till now, are running their business by buying half a kg.
That’s why the price is increasing
Usually in the months of June and July, the prices of most tomatoes and other vegetables increase. The reason for this is that tomatoes and all other vegetables cannot be kept for a long time during the rainy season, nor can they be transported over long distances in large quantities. In such a situation, their supply is interrupted. Although the prices of tomatoes have increased wildly this year.
McDonald’s and Burger King also removed tomatoes from the menu
Let us tell you that the skyrocketing prices of tomatoes have not only affected the budget of the common man, but it has also started affecting restaurants and food chains. Recently, McDonald’s and Burger King have also stopped the use of tomatoes in their products in some of their outlets. However, the reason for this is not the inflation of tomatoes, but non-availability of good quality tomatoes. It has been clarified on behalf of McDonald’s that the decision to remove tomatoes from the menu has been taken to maintain the highest standards of safety and maintain the superior quality of food.
