Asia-Pacific Tomatoes Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:
Drivers
- Government Initiatives to Boost Tomato Production and the Agricultural Sector
With the increasing population and higher demand for fruits and fresh vegetables, the government has put several efforts into increasing the production and processing of the crops. Through much R&D in science and technology, the government has come up with many initiatives to increase tomato production to fulfill the demand for tomatoes and other agricultural products. The government funds research institutions such as the California Tomato Research Institute, Agriculture Research Service (ARS), and ICAR-IIHR in India to develop new varieties such as Pusa Ruby, Pusa Gaurav, and Chhuhara. These high-yielding varieties give more yield and are also more disease and pest-resistant, which is very important for higher production and makes them less prone to natural disasters.
- Increased Development of New Tomato Varieties
Cultivating new plant varieties can help farmers grow more food and adapt to climate change. This also helps scientists learn more about how plants are affected by climate change and drought and can help refine and improve the plant breeding process in many ways. The rising healthcare expenditure increased life expectancy, and the desire of older people to improve their quality of life have all emphasized more scientific developments. Using bioactive substances at higher concentrations than usual is one of the tactics used in developing functional foods. Despite not being particularly abundant in vitamins and antioxidants, tomatoes have emerged as an intriguing antioxidant source due to their widespread consumption. Researchers are highly interested in the enzymatic properties of tomatoes because of their easy availability. For instance, tomatoes are the first dietary source of lycopene, the second source of vitamin C and carotene, and the third dietary source of vitamin E in Spain. The carotenoid content and its implications on health have received special attention from scientists.
Restraint
- Increasing Environmental Elements and Climate Conditions
Environment change affects food system sustainability by influencing farmer livelihoods, consumer choices, and food security through changes in agroecosystems' natural and human components. Annual precipitation and heavy rainfall events are becoming more common, especially in the spring. An excessive amount of spring rain slows crop establishment, interrupts planting, increases the prevalence of several fungal and bacterial crop diseases, and might cause labor problems due to delaying field operations. Variations in temperature and precipitation directly impact the quantity and quality of tomato crop production and indirectly impact the scheduling of important farm operations and the economic effects of pests, weeds, and diseases. Adverse weather conditions also hamper the supply chain and transportation of tomatoes.
Opportunity
- Wide Range of Applications in the Food and Beverages Sector
In the food and beverages industry, tomatoes are used in various forms and as a fresh component, including frozen, dried, pureed, sauces, and powder. The flexibility of these many tomato-based applications is growing daily, eventually opening up opportunities for the food processing industries to produce various tomato-based products. Due to customer habituation with the flavor and taste of tomatoes, tomatoes have greatly increased in popularity. Additionally, processed foods and snacks frequently utilize tomato paste, purees, sauces, powders, and other ingredients. Developing more specialized food production technologies aids in discovering new applications for tomatoes in the food industry. These factors will continue creating profitable business opportunities for established market players and new entrepreneurs.
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 affects 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. Post-harvest losses cause the product's quality to decline, eventually lowering its price and negatively influencing market expansion.
Post-COVID-19 Impact on Asia-Pacific Tomatoes Market
Post the pandemic, the demand for tomatoes increased as there was an allowance for fruits and vegetables during the lockdown time and demand for vegetables increased at that time. Tomatoes having properties of increasing immunity led to the high demand during COVID-19.
Recent Developments
- In January 2021, the Organic Produce Network, the organic tomato market was extremely active, according to Ricardo Crisantes, Chief Commercial Officer at Wholesum in Nogales, Arizona, and supply often lagged behind demand daily.
- In March 2020, "Organic Marketing Tomatoes for Maximum Sales" entitled article published by PHOENIX MEDIA NETWORK, INC. PUBLICATION stated that customers are reportedly interested in purchasing organic tomatoes despite their high price because of their health benefits.
