Seasonal advantage and reasonable prices force the farmers to cultivate the crop. The farmers cultivate tomato when they have assured irrigation for three months.

This book would be useful to the research scholars, market analysts, and policymakers to understand the price behavior and market integration of tomato markets in south India.
