Tomato Price Down on Idul Fitri

Entering wet season, the price of commodities
such as salad vegetables tend to come down from above the normal price Rp
3000.00 per kilogram to Rp. 2500.00 per kilogram.



Heavy rain that often falls lately resulted in a variety of vegetable
commodities price increases, except for vegetable commodities such as tomatoes,
red peppers, potatoes, carrots, green peppers, and onions increased
significantly. The increase was as a result of limited supply due to seasonal
flooding in the area so that suppliers hampered distribution channels.



In addition, high rainfall resulted in many commodities are rotting vegetables,
so the supply of agricultural centers is reduced, especially floods hampered
distribution of vegetables, which accelerate the decay of vegetables to a
limited number of vegetable commodities which then pushed the price up.

decreased. In this month, tomato farmers to sell tomatoes Rp. 3000.00 / kg  to a dealer or vegetables distributor.  Though tomatoes are usually sold in Rp.
5000.00 / kg until can reach Rp. 8000.00 / kg,

prices declined dramatically from the end of the year. "From the price of
Rp. 11,000.00 / kg, then fell to Rp. 8000.00 on Idul Fitri Day. Now in the
range Rp. 5000.00 / kg because of the supply of this goods a lot," he said.
