India: High prices stall tomato export to Pakistan

Tomato exports to Pakistan through the Attari-Wagah land route has dropped significantly due to soaring tomato prices, with only 4-5 trucks per day carrying tomatoes to the neighbouring nation, compared to 40-50 trucks per day earlier.

“Pakistani traders now prefer to source tomatoes from their own country rather than buying it from India where its prices have hit the roof”, traders said.

There is a huge potential for export of tomatoes to Pakistan on the back of its strong demand as Indian tomatoes are generally cheaper than those available there.

Pakistan allows import of 137 items from India through Attari-Wagah land route which includes tomato, peas, garlic, carrots, oil cake, fruits etc.
