Tomato prices showed a significant variation across different markets on September 1, 2026. According to the latest mandi price data, the maximum tomato price reached ₹4,600 per quintal in Noida Market, Uttar Pradesh. In contrast, despite receiving a heavy arrival of 333 tonnes, Azamgarh Market recorded a maximum price of only ₹800 per quintal. This highlights the wide price difference between markets on the same day.
Tomato prices are influenced by several market factors, including local demand, produce quality and prevailing market conditions. Therefore, farmers preparing to sell their crop should not rely on the price of a single market.
Comparing the latest mandi prices and arrivals across different markets can help farmers assess where better rates are available. However, transportation expenses and the quality of the produce should also be considered before choosing a market.
