The Tomato mandi rate shown here is the actual market price at which farmers sold their produce today at APMC markets.

KisanDeals shows live APMC market rates, not MSP.
Today's Tomato wholesale price in Tamil Nadu is ₹1945 per quintal at APMC mandis. This is the modal (bulk traded) wholesale rate. Retail prices in local markets are typically 10–25% higher due to transport, arhat (commission), and handling costs.
Tomato prices are affected by multiple factors: seasonal arrivals (post-harvest flood of supply drives prices down), weather events like unseasonal rains or drought reducing yield, export demand from neighbouring countries, government policies like export bans or MSP procurement, and transportation costs (fuel prices). Use the Trend chart to see historical patterns for context.

About Tomato — India's Most Consumed Vegetable
India produces 20–22 million tonnes of tomatoes annually, making it the world's second-largest producer. Tomatoes are perishable and have extreme price volatility — a tomato that costs ₹5/kg in harvest season can spike to ₹80–150/kg in lean months.
Major producing states: Andhra Pradesh (Madanapalle cluster), Karnataka (Kolar), Maharashtra (Nashik), Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Bihar, and Odisha. The Kolar-Madanapalle belt supplies most of South India's tomato demand.
Seasons and price patterns: Three crops per year — Oct–Jan (Rabi/winter), Jan–May (summer), Jun–Sep (Kharif/monsoon). Monsoon season typically has the highest prices due to weather damage. July–August is India's peak tomato price season historically.
Factors Affecting Tomato Prices
Season & Monsoon
Rainfall affects crop yield and arrival volumes. Post-harvest season usually brings lower prices.
Supply & Demand
Higher arrivals push prices down; lower supply or festival demand drives prices up.
Transportation
Fuel prices and road conditions affect the cost of moving produce to mandis.
Export Demand
International demand, especially from neighbouring countries, significantly impacts wholesale rates.
