In Bengaluru, tomato prices have reached ₹80 per kilogram, driven by a reduced supply from Mandya and Mysore due to rain and disease. Maharashtra, now the main supplier, has seen prices surpass ₹45/kg. The supply shortage, exacerbated by adverse weather and diseases, has affected regions including Mandya, Mysuru, Maddur, Kanakapur, Chikkamagaluru, and Kadur, leading to transportation disruptions.
Wholesale prices, as per Ibras Khan, a tomato wholesaler, might escalate to ₹120/kg, affecting cities like Mysore and Shimoga. Additionally, pea prices have increased from ₹120 to ₹170-200 per kilogram, with supplies from Shimla and Kashmir.
