He said that supply of tomatoes to Karachi from various areas of Balochistan, Khuzdar, Ferozeabad, Naal, Awaran, Arnaj and Lasbella, has been badly affected due to which a trend of increase in prices is being witnessed.

my question is, is it the first time they are increasing prices of tomatoes? :bummer:
