In Spain, the average price of Tomato jumped from ~USD 811.00/MT (FOB) in July to ~USD 1,117.20/MT in August. Italy followed as price rose from ~USD 982.03/MT (FOB) to ~USD 1,331.16/MT. Europe faced a sharp supply shortfall as repeated heatwaves caused flower drop and fruit damage. French official data showed August prices reaching a record, 43% above a year earlier, with fresh output forecast to decline. Supply from outside the region also tightened, as water shortages in Morocco reduced round-tomato planting by 10–15%, and Spanish growers faced a crop virus, labour shortages and a slightly smaller greenhouse area. By late September, prices in Northern Europe started to ease as supply recovered, though they stayed well above normal. India's average prices eased about 3.5%, from ~USD 183.20/MT (FOB) to ~USD 176.73/MT. In the region, prices fell from the mid-June peak as fresh arrivals eased earlier heat-related shortages, and wholesale values stayed far below last year through August.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, in the near term, tomato prices are likely to ease gradually as supply recovers after the summer heat, though smaller planted areas may keep values above normal.

Tomato prices in India increased to ~INR 17.29/kg in April and ~INR 20.56/kg in May, showing a ~18.9% increase. The market remained firm during Q2’26 as supply constraints developed in key producing regions. Tomato inflation reached 35.28% year over year in April and increased further to 48.43% in May, reflecting tight availability. Heatwave conditions from mid-April, with temperatures reaching 40°C to 45°C across parts of major growing areas, affected crop quality and reduced marketable output in Maharashtra, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh. Although the Ministry of Agriculture projected 2025/26 tomato production at 21.46 million metric tons, up 4.19%, supply availability remained uneven due to timing and regional mismatches. Lower arrivals from Uttar Pradesh and Haryana increased dependence on southern production centres, including Madanapalle in Andhra Pradesh, raising transportation costs and spoilage risks. Higher tomato prices also contributed to food cost pressure, with India’s Consumer Food Price Index inflation increasing from 4.20% in April to 4.78% in May. Towards the end of Q2, supply conditions improved as harvesting increased and winter-crop availability supported market correction. However, rainfall concerns remained as the IMD forecast below-normal June rainfall in key agricultural zones and above-normal heatwave days in some producing states.
Tomatoes are edible fruits belonging to Solanum genus and are used as a staple ingredient around the globe because of its sweet taste, acidic flavor and versatile nature. They are also rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants and therefore enhance the nutritional profile of various dishes ranging from salads to soups, pizzas, pastas and is also widely employed in the processed food industries.
