NDTV
Tomato Prices In Chennai: In a Chennai Farm Fresh outlet, tomatoes were available for Rs 79 today- a Tamil Nadu state initiative which is a welcome respite for many.
A government-owned Farm Fresh outlet in Teynampet in Chennai has become a boon for those who were unable to buy tomatoes last week when the prices crossed the Rs 100 per kilogram-mark. In the outlet which is located in the heart of the city, tomatoes were available for Rs 79 today- a Tamil Nadu state initiative which is a welcome respite for many like Sathiyamoorthy.
A construction worker in Chennai, Sathiyamoorthy had been avoiding the purchase of tomatoes as the prices rose following heavy rains across the state last week.
"This is fair price. In the market outside, tomatoes are costing Rs 120 a kilo," a relieved Sathiyamoorthy said.
Others like Arokiya Mary chose to buy only half of her tomato requirement. "I cannot afford tomatoes even at this price. The only option is to reduce consumption," she said.
