Cooperative NCCF on July 30 said it has sold 560 tonnes of tomatoes at a subsidised rate in the last 15 days in Delhi, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, and the discount sale continues as retail prices are still ruling high amid heavy rains in key producing States.
National Cooperative Consumers' Federation of India (NCCF) had begun tomato sales at a subsidised rate of ₹90 per kg on July 14 and later reduced the price to ₹70 per kg. Since last week, NCCF has been selling tomatoes at ₹70 per kg in all three States.
