Tomato Farmers Rejoice as Prices Soar, Appeal for Consumer Support
Hyderabad, July 2, 2023
In a moment of jubilation, tomato farmers are finally reaping the rewards of their hard work. However, amidst the excitement, there is public outcry over the high price of tomatoes, which has reached 100 rupees per kilogram.
Addressing the concerns, farmers express their frustration by jokingly suggesting that if they could throw away 100 crops on the road for a mere joke, they would do so. They emphasize the heavy investments and expenses they incur, and yet, when farmers face hardships, there is a lack of attention and support.
While some individuals lament the tomato prices, farmers urge consumers to understand the challenges they face. They remind people that even a small purchase of 4-5 kilograms of tomatoes per month would make a significant difference in supporting the farming community. They highlight the unfortunate instances of farmers resorting to extreme measures, such as suicides, when prices plummet to levels like 400 or 500 rupees.
The farmers humbly appeal to everyone buying tomatoes to do so happily and without excessive complaints. They emphasize that their livelihoods depend on fair prices and consumer support. By supporting farmers, they believe not only will their own happiness be ensured, but the entire country will thrive.
The current increase in tomato prices brings a moment of celebration for tomato farmers, who have long awaited this well-deserved reward. They express gratitude for the support of consumers and hope for continued understanding and support in the future.
