Distressed over the drastic price drop of tomatoes to Rs 4 per kg, farmers in Andhra Pradesh’s Kurnool dumped their produce on the road. Earlier, tomato prices had soared to as high as Rs 200 per kg in the market over the past month, but they have now experienced a significant decline.
In an agricultural market located in Kurnool district, tomato prices have plummeted, forcing farmers to discard their produce on the roads. Farmers have attributed their financial struggles to labour and transportation. The farmers in the market claimed that they couldn’t even afford basic logistics with the current price of tomatoes.
Unable to sell or retrieve the tomatoes they brought to the market, the farmers resorted to dumping their produce on the roads near the market.
