Tomato Farmers Face Ruin: Disease and Rain Decimate Crops, Costs Soar

• Faridabad farmer Krishan faces devastating losses as his tomato crop is ravaged by Tyren disease and adverse weather.
• Despite significant investment of 80,000-85,000 rupees per acre, including nets, the yield is extremely low and weak.
• Krishan, who moved from Kasganj to Faridabad for better market prices, now struggles to cover basic expenses like children's education.
• The farmer highlights the high risks and uncertainties in agriculture, where hard work often doesn't guarantee profit.
• With a crate of tomatoes needing to sell for 400-500 rupees for profit, current conditions make it impossible for farmers like Krishan.
