TN farmers dump tomatoes into lakes after prices drop 
After tomato prices in Tamil Nadu declined from â¹20 to â¹2, several farmers dumped their tomato harvest into the lakes in the state. Surplus tomatoes were produced instead of long-season crops such as bananas and sugarcanes as irrigation water was available for only three months, farmers' union member said. Farmers disposed off tomatoes to prevent them from rotting, he added.
