Mumbai/Nashik: The retail price of onion hit Rs Rs 50 per kg citywide this week. Another kitchen staple, the humble tomato, has come to be priced at Rs 70-80 per kg. Traders blame excess rainfall and Cyclone Gulab for crop shortage. They say rates will drop marginally only around November 15 and normalise in December.
Within just 40 days, from a wholesale rate of Rs 2.50 a kg in the first week of September, tomato now costs Rs 25 a kg at Pimpalgaon, Nashik—India's largest tomato wholesale market. Heavy rainfall in September and the cyclone reportedly left hectares of fields damaged in Nashik and Kolhapur.
Goregaon resident Asavari Joshi said, “Amid the fasting season of Navratra when consumption is low, I find it surprising that prices have risen so high.”
