Tomato Market Prices Witness Sharp Fluctuations – Check State-Wise Rates (26 August 2025)

Today, tomato prices across the country showed heavy ups and downs. In Maharashtra’s Pune and Nashik markets, tomatoes fetched between ₹5,500–₹6,000 per quintal, while in Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur and Lucknow mandis, prices were much lower at ₹1,800–₹2,200 per quintal.

In Madhya Pradesh (Indore, Mandsaur), limited arrivals pushed prices above ₹4,000, whereas in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad and Saurashtra region, heavy supply dragged rates down to ₹1,700 per quintal.

Clearly, markets with higher arrivals witnessed lower prices, while mandis with limited arrivals offered farmers better returns. Before selling your produce, it is important to check the latest prices in nearby markets to ensure the right value for your hard work.

Farmer Advisory

1. Best markets for sale: Punjab (Tanda Urmur, Tarn Taran, Garhshankar) and Rajasthan (Shri Ganganagar) are offering excellent prices.
2. Avoid heavy arrival markets: Gurugram, Anand, and Kopaganj are under price pressure – if storage is available, holding stock may be more profitable.
3. Focus on smaller markets: With limited arrivals, smaller mandis are offering higher rates; nearby low-supply mandis could be more beneficial.
