Karnataka Tomato Farmers See Red As Exports, Prices Plummet Amid Bangladesh Crisis
“Around 40 truckloads of tomatoes, each carrying about 900 boxes, are sent daily from Kolar to Bangladesh. This number dropped to 20 trucks when political tensions began, and for the past week, all shipments have been halted. We are now forced to sell the tomatoes in markets along the way,” said Saddam Hussein, a farmer from Kolar.
