The Tomato farmer is not getting any remunerative price these days. The Tomatoe which is used on regular basis in the kitches costed around Rs 70 per KG .
But these days the crop is in abundant in some parts of Telagnana and the farmer is not getting remunerative price. They are not even getting Rs one per KG.
Some of the farmers who did not get the remunerative price have dumped the crop on the roads. In some local town markets Tomato is priced at Rs 10 per Kg, but the farmer who is growing hte crop with great difficulty is not even getting just one rupee per Kg.
This has been the trend in Teulug states some times.
The faremrs were on the roads in Niramal Town for the remeunerative prices to the crop. The issue was brought to the notice of the Minister for Agriculture here in Telangana.
Hundreds of quintals of the crop was left on the roads by the farmers. They do not have proper cold chain for the storage. If it is sorerd properly it can be converted into sauce,Purie and other thigns. These things can be exported also.
There is talk that all the farmers should not go for the same crop and taht alernative method of crop systme should be followed.
