Rohtas: After Pulwama terror attack, India has increased the custom duty on goods exported to Pakistan. However, the decision is also adversely affecting the farmers.
The import duty on tomatoes has also been increased which has decreased its demand. The farmers are really worried as the traders are not purchasing tomatoes and the yield is rotting in the farms.
A farmer told that he had planted tomatoes in his six bhiga farm and now all the yield was getting spoilt and being eaten by animals.
