Hilly states contribute about 10% of the tomato production and the supply is disrupted due to rainfall affecting transportation

Tomato prices that saw a massive spike in the recent past will moderate in the next 2, 3 weeks as supply from hilly states that include Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand has commenced, reported Financial Express.&nbsp;

&ldquo;Tomato arrivals have commenced from the hilly states, it would reflect in the softening of prices in next two weeks,&rdquo; Surendra Budhiraja, a tomato trader and member of Azadpur mandi told Financial Express.
However, heavy rainfall in the hilly regions has disrupted transportation affecting the supplies. Hilly states have around 10% share in the country&rsquo;s tomato production and help improve supplies in the northern region.
Tomato prices in states like Maharashtra and Karnataka would decline only after new crops start arriving in the market by later parts of this month. Both these states have a combined share of 17%.&nbsp;
