Farmers Pawan, Guddu, Chipandra, Mohan Lal, Budharam, Duni Chand, Prem Chand, Shobha Ram, Govind Singh, Balwant said "Tomato prices fall every year during the rainy season in vegetable markets. The price of the crop is being received well this year. The farmers didn't expect this. The farmers are very happy with the price of tomatoes". On the other hand, Khushal Thakur, president of Kullu and Snor Valley Aarti Association, said that "Farmers were not able to get the price due to lack of demand even after good production of tomatoes in the valley last year. This year, farmers are getting better prices of tomatoes due to low crop yields."
