Tomato: Higher acreage target

The statement said an assessment by the Ministry of Agriculture showed this kharif season, a higher acreage of 272,000 hectares had been targeted as against 267,000 last year.

The condition of the crop is good in major producing areas of Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh, and Kolar, Karnataka.

"In Kolar, picking of tomatoes has started and will hit the market within a few days from now," the statement added.

Based on feedback from district officials, it has been reported that tomato crop yields in Chittoor and Kolar are better than last year.

Additionally, there has been a notable increase in cultivation areas in the major growing states. The wholesale prices of tomatoes in Delhi are slightly lower than they were a year ago. However, the data indicates that prices were high just a few weeks ago.
