Rising tomato prices in India has increased the demand for avocados, which have become more affordable in comparison. Social media is buzzing with images of avocado-based breakfasts that are cheap in comparison to traditional tomato chutney due to the price difference, with Twitter users posting images of avocados retailing as low as Rs. 59, while tomatoes are selling at Rs. 222 per kilogram. As vegetable wholesalers struggle with losses due to the decrease in demand for tomatoes, avocados are becoming an attractive alternative for Indian consumers, leading to a shift in culinary preferences.
