Suggestions for Farmers:

1. Go for High-Price Mandis: If you have good quality tomatoes, consider selling at Dungarpur, Bassi (Rajasthan) or Akluj (Maharashtra) where rates are stronger.
2. Caution in High-Arrival Zones: Mandis like Pune have higher arrivals and slightly suppressed prices, but offer easy access for bulk sales.
3. Avoid Low-Rate Mandis for Desi Varieties: Farmers with desi or lower-grade tomatoes may face lower returns in places like Rahuri or Rawatsar, so plan accordingly.

Final Takeaway: The tomato market is seeing regional price swings, driven by local supply and quality. Rajasthan offers premium prices, but with limited selling volume. Maharashtra shows quantity over quality, with heavy inflow affecting pricing.
