The unprecedented rains also damaged the tomato crops and the quality of locally grown onions.
Traders and tomato farmers said that due to the rains and crops getting damaged, the cost of tomatoes will shoot up in the coming days from the existing rate of 60-65 per kg to Rs 90 in the coming days. "Usually the prices of tomatoes rise in the months of April-May due to the intense summer heat, but this time, due to the rains and cloud cover and improper winters, the sowing and harvesting cycles have been hampered and the rates will rise," said Narayana Gowda, a tomato farmer and trader.
