The disruption of the market by the lockdown has meant that some of the produce goes unsold for a few days and then their quality deteriorates and they end up commanding no prices at all. Good tomatoes were going at about Rs 200 for a 15 kg box but fourth and fifth quality tomatoes fetch only a few rupees for a 15 kg box, he said.&#8221; It is worth noting that around the same time, a similar phenomenon was observed in <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/videos\/in-depth\/crisis-in-indian-agriculture-explained-why-farmers-are-destroying-their-tomato-crop\/videoshow\/82688506.cms\">Haryana<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To sum it up, a video of farmers dumping tonnes of tomatoes in Karnataka has been shared with the claim that the video is recent and farm laws, repealed by Prime Minister Modi on <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/india\/pm-modi-announces-repeal-of-3-farm-laws-appeals-protesting-farmers-to-call-off-agitation\/articleshow\/87797680.cms\">November 18<\/a>, would have enabled farmers to gain a fair price for their produce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A video of Malayalam news broadcast by Asianet News was shared online with the claim, &#8220;In southern India, middlemen aren&#8217;t paying the right price for tomatoes&#8230; offering 0.75 paise per kilogram.
