Restraint

• Fluctuations in the Prices of Tomatoes

Volatile and unpredictable marketplaces have far-reaching consequences for industrial companies. Unanticipated barriers such as rising energy costs and unexpected variations in raw material pricing are disrupting supply chains and making it harder for businesses to stay profitable. Variations in the prices of raw materials for making sauces, dressings, and condiments hot fill bottle packaging put up additional costs on the price of the finished product. A bumper crop or crop disaster in a major production region can change tomato prices quickly.

Farmers, suppliers, and companies dealing in the tomatoes market find it difficult to correctly judge the risk of large fluctuations in tomatoes costs. Highly fluctuating costs and ineffective price management can seriously jeopardize the success of companies. The growers utilize many greenhouse facilities to grow tomatoes to lessen the impact of weather on tomato growing and increase the yield per acre. Tomatoes grown in greenhouses require different seeds than those grown in their natural environment. As a result, the cost of seeds used to grow tomatoes in greenhouses is higher than those used to grow tomatoes in natural conditions.

Moreover, increased Middle East and Africa trade, urbanization, transportation needs, and energy demands put further pressure on the cost of the intermediaries required for the market. Therefore, changes in the costs of tomatoes affect the demand for the product and are thus, expected to hinder market growth.

Opportunity

• Wide Range of Applications in Food and Beverages Sector

In the food and beverages industry, tomatoes are used in a variety of forms and as a fresh component such as frozen, dried, puree, sauces, powder, and others. The flexibility of these many tomato-based applications is growing daily, which eventually opens up opportunities for the food processing industries to produce a variety of tomato-based products. Due to customer habituation with the flavor and taste of tomatoes, tomatoes have greatly increased in popularity. Additionally, tomato paste, purees, sauces, powders, and other ingredients are frequently utilized in processed foods and snacks. The development of more specialized food production technologies aids in the discovery of new applications for tomatoes in the food industry. These factors are predicted to continue creating profitable business chances for both established market players and new entrepreneurs.

There is an increased demand for products containing tomatoes due to their wide range of food industry adaptability, which will offer new opportunities and help in market growth.

Challenge

• Rising Post-Harvesting Losses due to Lack of Storage Facility

Despite the driving factors and the opportunities available in the market for tomato demand globally, there is a certain challenge faced by the farmer and the supplier that would affect the supply of tomatoes. The challenge is post-harvest losses because of the perishable nature of tomatoes and the lack of storage facilities after harvesting and during transportation. Post-harvest losses are primarily caused by rotting, mechanical damage, poor handling, inappropriate temperature, relative humidity management, and hygiene issues during handling. These losses cause the product's quality to decline, eventually lowering its price and negatively influencing market expansion.

However, post-harvest losses and other issues represent a serious market expansion challenge. In most nations, the tomato business is steadily disintegrating due to post-harvest issues, both on and off the farm. Most emerging nations cannot produce enough tomatoes on their own, as evidenced by the importation of completed tomato products. Even while there is always an oversupply in the market, this is only temporary because unprocessed tomatoes are difficult to preserve and highly perishable. Because of the inefficiencies in the post-harvest processing of tomatoes, there is a demand gap being supplied by imported processed goods. These post-harvest losses lower the market value of the product and act as a barrier to market expansion.

Post-harvest loss covers food lost along the entire food supply chain, from when a crop is harvested until it is consumed. The losses fall into several categories: weight loss from rotting, quality loss, nutritional loss, seed viability loss, and commercial loss. A shortage of storage facilities mostly causes these post-harvest losses on and off farms, which will be a key challenge to the market expansion.
