60 thousand per bigha in tomato cultivation
It may be mentioned that, for the last several days, there has been a severe downturn in crops including tomato, brinjal and cauliflower. Thus, it is becoming difficult to reach the farmers to the tomato marketing yard, the farmers are making tents and selling them themselves. Tomato costs about 60 thousand per bigha. In this, the cost of Moghadat seeds, medicines, labor costs and the cost of transporting it to the market causes a huge loss to the farmers. Then traders in the market are not ready to take this crop. Farmers are selling tomatoes by going door to door. Now farmers are also thinking of feeding tomatoes to animals.
