Hyderabad is seeing a decline in tomato prices, which spiked after the recent rains in telangana and other indian states. Recently, the costs, which had risen to Rs 200 per kilogram, have been reduced to Rs 60–70 per kg. Yesterday, the costs in the retail market fell even lower to Rs 50–60 per kg. Tomato prices fell as sales volumes sharply decreased as hyderabad residents turned their attention to other veggies rather than tomatoes.
Tomato prices had already increased dramatically in the city as a result of significant crop losses in telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Maharashtra, where the traders imported the produce. Even many restaurants and eateries had begun reducing the usage of pulpy fruit in meal preparation due to the rise in prices. The situation has now returned to normal with a surge in sales volume and the return of the pulpy fruit in meal preparations in restaurants and cafés as tomato prices have started to drop.


As it increased the buffer stock of onions from 300,000 metric tonnes to 500,000 metric tonnes, the Centre said on sunday that the onions would be sold at a discounted rate of Rs 25/kg starting on monday through the National Cooperative Consumers' Federation of india (NCCF). This action aims to control onion prices until the next harvest is ready in October.
