A glut in tomato production has left farmers struggling as prices plummet, leading to significant financial losses. With an oversupply in the market, farmers are finding it difficult to cover their production costs, pushing them to seek immediate relief.
To address the crisis, farmers are urging the State government to intervene by implementing cold storage facilities and ensuring a minimum support price (MSP). These measures, they believe, would stabilize market prices and prevent wastage, offering much-needed relief to cultivators facing economic distress.
With fears of further losses, agricultural unions and farmer groups are calling for long-term solutions to prevent such recurring issues, including better storage infrastructure and regulated price mechanisms.
