From last two days I am listening on National news channels that prices of tomato in major cities like Delhi has gone near about 100 per k.g. But when I go to my own local market to purchase tomato, shopkeepers are selling tomato at the rate 20 - 30 rupees per k.g. What had made this huge difference? Still the farmers are selling tomato and onion at very low prices, at about 5 - 10 rupees per kg.

No, I am not happy with the price of Rs. 60 per kg but I mentioned it to show the style of reporting.
Tomatoes at my place are now Rs.80 per kilo, that is 20 less than what I was paying for them. Are you all still buying tomatoes at such high prices?

So, if there is normal rainfall, prices, naturally come down.
