Small eateries bear the brunt of soaring tomato prices in Vijayawada

Restaurants and roadside eateries are among the sections worst affected by the soaring price of tomatoes in the past few days.

“Tomatoes, onions, garlic and ginger form the base of every dish. We cannot avoid them, we can only cut down the quantity in a way that it does not significantly affect the taste,” says Vijayawada Hotel Owners Association president P.V. Ramana.  

While restaurants, big and small, have been affected by the price hike, it is the small businesses and roadside eateries that have borne the brunt.
