Jehanabad Farmers Turn Tomato Shortage into Gold with Off-Season Cultivation

• Jehanabad farmers, like Manish Kumar, are cultivating summer tomatoes to capitalize on expected June-July shortage.
• Manish Kumar, from Katrasin village, Makhdumpur block, uses modern methods like polyhouses and drip mulching on one acre.
• Off-season tomatoes, ready in 90-100 days, fetch high prices when market supply is low, ensuring good profits.
• This farming approach also provides local employment, benefiting about a dozen villagers.
• Farmers seek government support for better market access and fair prices for their produce.
