Red Gold Tomatoes Bring Relief to Haldibari Farmers Amidst Vegetable Slump
•Haldibari farmers find relief in tomato prices (10-14 Rs/kg wholesale) amidst low potato (3-5 Rs/kg) and cabbage (3-4 Rs/kg) rates.
•Last year's overproduction led to plummeting tomato prices, but this year's market is better, allowing farmers to recover costs and make small profits.
•Tomatoes from Cooch Behar's Haldibari are supplied nationwide, including Delhi and Mumbai, via Siliguri, boosting demand.
•Farmers Jewel Mohammad and Kailash Barman confirm improved prices compared to last year, stabilizing the market.
•Wholesale vendor Dilip Roy notes that only tomatoes and chilies offer profit potential for farmers this season.
