00:00My name is Ashok Kaushik.
00:07What is the reason for the high price of tomatoes?
00:14The main reason is the summer season.
00:18Farmers did not get the money for their crops.
00:21The tomatoes from Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh were sold out very quickly.
00:25We have tomatoes from Himachal Pradesh, Bangalore, Kolar and Chintamani.
00:33But the prices are very high.
00:36The price of tomatoes varies from Rs. 60 to Rs. 80 per kg.
00:40The best quality tomatoes are Rs. 70 to Rs. 80 per kg.
00:45The cheapest tomatoes are Rs. 60 to Rs. 80 per kg.
00:49The cheapest tomatoes are Rs. 20 to Rs. 30 per kg.
00:53We have to sell the tomatoes because of the high cost of transportation.
01:01So we have to sell the tomatoes.
01:05The price of tomatoes varies from Rs. 10 to Rs. 50 per kg.
01:10Everyone is a businessman.
01:16If a person has a job, he buys according to his budget.
01:20If he buys a kilo, he buys a pound.
01:23If not, there are many other people.
01:25There is a local man who is happy eating tomatoes.
01:28He doesn't just add lemon, he adds mangoes.
01:30There are many such people.
01:32Rajveer Singh.
01:33You are a tomato seller.
01:35Yes.
01:36Why do you think tomatoes are so expensive?
01:39It is expensive because there is less pollution.
01:43Why is there less pollution?
01:45Because of the rains.
01:47The main reason for the rains is the rains.
01:50The crops are spoiled.
01:51Yes, the crops are spoiled.
01:52First it gets dry in Himachal, then it rains.
01:56Is the market less polluted than before?
01:59The market is less polluted.
02:01When the rate is high, the customers leave.
02:04Some people buy watermelons, some sell mangoes.
02:07The rickshaw drivers who come, they run away.
02:11Where do they take the tomatoes from?
02:13They will get it cheap.
02:15They will sell tomatoes.
02:16They should save money.
02:17Now the permanent growers are taking the tomatoes.
02:20They are not taking ready tomatoes.
02:22They are taking ready potatoes.
02:23What kind of pollutions have you seen?
02:25The pollutions are like this.
02:27The farmer becomes poor.
02:29Like today.
02:30Because of the peacock, there is a difference of Rs. 300-400 in the market.
02:34Peacock?
02:35Yes, peacock.
02:36Mostly the hybrid tomatoes go to that area.
