This time a tomato bumper has been cultivated in Patmada near Jamshedpur. But because of the lack of a buyer, farmers break this tomatoes from the fields and throw them into the fields by tractors. So far, about 20 farmers have thrown their tomatoes. Only threw tomatoes are found in the fields. Farmers threw tomatoes in more than 10 picas in the field, resulting in a loss of at least millions. The sauce company from the tomatoes refused to take the tomatoes from here.
This area is named after vegetable cultivation
The area of the Batmada near Jamshedpur is known to grow vegetables. At this time, farmers have grown the tomato bumper crop. Initially, he began to make good profit from the market. When a lot of tomatoes started coming in the market, the price of tomatoes fell to Rs 2 per kg. Farmers saw that they were not profitable as much as they thought. So they broke the tomatoes and started saving in their homes. The reason is that there is not even a cold storage in this area. The market could never recover, farmers slowly began to leave the tomatoes in the fields.
The price receives 2 rupees per kg
The cost of growing tomatoes was Rs. 5 and they get Rs 2 per kg in the market. As a result, he lost Rs 3 per kg from the original cost. But these people gathered courage and contacted the company making tomato sauce located in Ranchi Jharkhand, and they said yes to buy tomatoes, and the farmers were very happy that their tomatoes would now be sold. But when people went there with tomatoes, they refused to take the tomatoes. The poor farmer brought the tomatoes back and threw it into the fields.

The progressive farmer told his pain
Progressive farmer Yatunath Korai said, “We are the farmers of Badmada.” At this time we had a bumper crop of tomatoes, but the demand for our tomatoes on the market began to decline. We do not know why the demand in the market started to decrease, but the demand in the market declined and the market prices started at Rs 2 per kg. For this reason, we had to sell tomatoes in the market for 3 rupees than our cost. We started to suffer a lot.
Catup company cheated
At this time we talked to companies that make up tomato ketchup. A company assured us that we will buy your tomato. We loaded the tomato on the tractor and took them to Ranchi, but after they went there, they refused to take the tomatoes of the babamada. He did not give the reason, he certainly praised our red tomato, but did not take it, and eventually we had to come back. Then we threw the tomatoes into the fields. Sandhya Rani Singh said we are working in the Bihari people fields. Tomatoes in the fields are very high and there is no buyer. We have a lot of problems and we don’t get the job. There is a possibility of hunger to die.

The farmer is demanding an inquiry
Progressive farmer Nakula Hanssta says it is difficult to understand why the demand for tomatoes in the market has suddenly reduced. But it is not understood that the demand for tomatoes has suddenly diminished in the bottomeda, which is known for the cultivation of tomatoes. This is a matter of trial. The government should investigate why tomatoes are not sold in the market. What is the reason? We have reached the status of hunger. So, we have no choice but to throw tomatoes into the fields.
We have grown tomatoes in the fields in our area. Tomatoes are very good, red tomatoes, but now they are not requesting. In such a situation, we have no choice but to do what we should do with tomatoes. There is no buyer, we face a lot of problems. No one is going to hear, no one to see, no MLA, no minister, no guard, we are living our lives in some way, we are not selling in our tomato markets, we are very upset. (Input of Anoop Sinha)
