Tomato's market @ Madanapalli which is 100 kms away from B'lore and one of the major tomato markets in Chittoor district of AP. Around 700 tons (normally, &    ~1000 tons in peak)  of tomato come to Madanapalli market & exported these tomato's to big cities: Hyderabad, Chennai, north India. Challenge is price variation from ~One rupee to  ~Rs. 20 / kg !! Similar markets are there near (50 kms dia) by Madanapalli, they are: Chinnamandem/Rayachoti (200 tons), Kalikiri/Vayalpad/Piler, Tirupati (250 tons), Punganur (200 ton's), Chintamani (200 ton's), Mulbagal / sankarapuram (300 tons) & so on... Impact : ~ 50,000 families and 2500 brokers, plus customers :) Challenge : Thousands of formers spend huge amount of money (40 k / acre) to grow Tomato's and rates fluctuates day to day / weekly !! How to stabilize the rates !? Any solution : Nice if there is any solution from IBM or Govt.'s. Rate / crop regularisation is one solution, Food proces
