Tomato Prices Plummet to Rs 5/kg in Visakhapatnam Market

• Tomato prices have drastically fallen to Rs. 5 per kilogram in the Devarapalli mandal center, Visakhapatnam.
• A large influx of tomatoes on Sunday, coupled with fewer traders due to Mahashivaratri, caused the price crash.
• A 25 kg crate of tomatoes, which cost Rs. 500 last week, dropped to Rs. 250, and later to Rs. 200.
• Prices of other vegetables like cluster beans and ridge gourd also saw significant reductions.
• Farmers fear heavy losses if the price trend continues, especially with summer approaching.
