Karachi tomatoes’ price goes up to Rs.140 per kg

Re: Karachi tomatoes’ price goes up to Rs.140 per kg

In Pakistan there are certain players who create artificial crisis to make big money, and govt is not doing much, and in many cases it is part of the problem and not the solution. Before the tomatoes crisis we have wheat crisis, and sugar crisis and stock market crisis. So, this is nothing new, and many of those involved are politicians, including sitting federal minsters.

Re: Karachi tomatoes’ price goes up to Rs.140 per kg

aaah I was waiting for same kind of "taunt" in US when price of ROMA TOMATOES went from 0.99$ per lb to 3.75$ per lbs (2 years ago)....but to my disappointment no one "taunted" US govt with "economic boom" instead they were all talking about something rubbish like crop turnout, supply and demand and all the US analysts were wrongly of the opinion that these factors drive the prices.... next time I'll make sure that you get a clip on local news channels and let people know about the "REAL FACTOR"

Indeed during Eid days, the demand for tomatoes grows manifold for biryani and karahi! Suhgar households buy tomatoes when they are sold for Rs. 10-15 per Kg and make paste of them and freeze them.

Re: Karachi tomatoes’ price goes up to Rs.140 per kg

But the fact remains that there is no government control over fleecing prices by traders and middlemen (and there had never been).
