Andhra Pradesh government procures tomatoes to stabilize rising prices in Madanapalle

The record

Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.

Tomato arrivals at the Madanapalle market yard in Andhra Pradesh's Annamayya district have doubled to over 3,000 metric tonnes daily this year, compared to about 1,550 metric tonnes last year, causing brief price dips.
The market yard chairman rejected reports that prices had crashed to ₹3 per kg, stating tomatoes sold between ₹7 and ₹11 per kg in recent days, with first-grade tomatoes at ₹16 per kg on Sunday.
The state government stepped in with procurement, buying 60 metric tonnes from the district and shipping them to urban markets like Vijayawada and Rajahmundry to balance supply and support farmers.
Officials attribute the surge to favourable crop conditions and expect prices to stabilise in the coming days.
