The Centre on Sunday announced a cut in the retail prices of tomatoes sold through two cooperatives—the National Cooperative Consumers Federation (NCCF) and National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India (NAFED). The NCCF and the NAFED will now sell tomatoes at Rs 80 per kg — Rs 10 down from the earlier price of Rs 90.
In a statement, Consumer Affairs Secretary Rohit Kumar Singh said, “There has been a decrease in the wholesale prices of tomatoes due to the intervention of Government to sell it at concessional rate of Rs 90 per kg, at several locations in the country where the prices were ruling exceptionally high.”
