Countries with relatively expensive tomatoes
Here are some examples from Numbeo’s June 2026 country-level data. The figures are approximate averages for 1 kg of tomatoes in markets, not guaranteed supermarket prices.
Country Approx. price per kg
🇨🇭 Switzerland $5.33
🇳🇴 Norway $5.19
🇰🇷 South Korea $5.18
🇺🇸 United States $4.93
🇳🇿 New Zealand $4.90
🇦🇺 Australia $4.89
🇩🇰 Denmark $4.79
🇮🇪 Ireland $4.64
🇸🇪 Sweden $4.60
🇯🇵 Japan $4.44
🇩🇪 Germany $4.38
🇳🇱 Netherlands $4.32
🇮🇳 India 80 Rs
For comparison, the same dataset lists India at about $0.49 per kg.
Why are they expensive? High production costs, imports, transportation, and seasonal shortages can all raise tomato prices. The exact reason differs from country to country.
Note: These are not a definitive worldwide ranking. Prices change frequently, and a country’s average can differ considerably from prices in individual cities or shops.
