India is experiencing a Tomato crisis as prices have surged over 300% due to extreme weather conditions, including flooding in major tomato-producing states. The price surge has led to thefts of tomato crops and the removal of tomatoes from menus at McDonald's outlets in India. The government has invited the public to a Tomato Grand Challenge Hackathon to find solutions to lower prices. Tomato Prices are expected to calm next month with the arrival of the summer crop supplies, which may be supplemented by higher imports.
