Notes: To address the current surge in tomato prices and ensure affordability for consumers, the government has initiated the procurement of tomatoes through the Price Stabilisation Fund.
These tomatoes are being provided to consumers at significantly subsidized rates. The Price Stabilization Fund (PSF) was set up in 2014-15 under the Department of Agriculture, Cooperation & Famers Welfare. It was then transferred to Department of Consumer Affairs from 2016.
