"Last week, the average price of tomatoes was 18 to 20 per kg as the supply has improved," Mysuru APMC Secretary M R Kumaraswamy told PTI over telephone when contacted.

Market sources said the supply of the commodity has improved by two to three times compared to last month leading to sharp decline of their prices.

"The highest price of tomatoes at the wholesale rate at Mysuru APMC was 140 per kg last month," Kumaraswamy said.

Retail prices of tomatoes are now ruling around 30 in the State, he added.
