In Andhra Pradesh -- the largest producer of tomatoes in the country -- the vegetable is selling at 100 a kg. In Chennai, tomatoes are burning a hole in customers' pocket, costing upwards of 140 a kilo.

New Delhi: The price of tomatoes -- sold every winter around 20 a kilo -- has spiraled following rain and floods in parts of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. In most southern states, tomatoes are selling for upwards of 100 a kilo. The worst sufferer of the shortage is Chennai, where the much-needed vegetable is selling for 140 a kilo, up from 40 a kilo at the beginning of this month.
Prices of other vegetables like capsicum and onions have also gone up, giving the opposition a fresh issue to attack the government.

In Andhra Pradesh -- the largest producer of tomatoes in the country -- the vegetable is selling at 100 a kg and is likely to shoot up further. Large tomato-growing areas have been hit by rain and the diesel price hike is further augmenting the prices.

Normally, tomatoes are cultivated from 58000 hectares in Andhra Pradesh and the state grows around 26.67 lakh metric tonnes. Madanapalle in Chittoor is the biggest tomato market. But this year, the biggest producers -- the districts of Chittoor and Anantapur -- are among the areas hit worst by floods.
