Is there real demand for cherry tomato and where does it sell?

Cherry tomato sells mostly to supermarkets, hotels, restaurants, salad and cloud kitchens and quick commerce in cities, with a premium over regular tomato when quality is good. Demand is rising but stays city and channel based, so it needs a buyer or aggregator rather than the open mandi. Farm gate prices have ranged a lot, often well above regular tomato, but the punnet retail price you see in stores includes packing and margin, so do not expect that at farm gate. It rewards growers who can supply clean, uniform fruit regularly. Confirm a buyer and current rates locally before planting more than a trial area.
