Research of the company "Technologies of Growth"

Tomatoes, or tomatoes, are the most popular and ubiquitous vegetable crops in the world. The volumes of their production and consumption are gradually growing: over the past 30 years, the world tomato market has tripled.
In terms of popularity, tomatoes have long outdone even bananas, the global consumption of which now reaches about 100 million tons. It is interesting that even 45-50 years ago bananas and tomatoes were grown in the world in approximately the same amount.
For the last 3 years, the volume of the world market of tomatoes, according to the company "Technologies of Growth", is about 150-160 million tons. (rice. 1 ) .

The mountainous regions of Peru and Ecuador are considered to be the homeland of tomatoes, where they were cultivated by the ancient Aztecs and Incas at the beginning of the 8th century AD. In the middle of the 16th century, tomatoes first came to Portugal and Spain, and from there spread throughout Europe.
In Russia, they learned about tomatoes in the 18th century, however, for almost 100 years they were used only as ornamental plant. By the way, the Americans, having safely forgotten the rich experience of the natives, also considered the tomato a poisonous plant until the 20s. 19th century and only then rediscovered it.
The long history of penetration of tomatoes into the European market has contributed to giving this wonderful culture especially romantic names. The Italians called them "golden apples", the Germans - "apples of paradise", and the French - "apples of love".
There is still no unanimous opinion in the world as to what type of crops tomatoes belong to. In everyday life, they are mainly considered vegetables. However, the fruits grow on the vine and are grown from the seed - hence, they are berries. In 2001, the European Union ordered that the tomato be considered a fruit.
But no matter what botanical species the tomato belongs to, its special biological value is universally recognized. The composition of the tomato includes sugars (mainly fructose and glucose), mineral salts: iodine, potassium, phosphorus, boron, magnesium, sodium, manganese, calcium, iron, copper, zinc. Tomatoes are rich in vitamins A, B, B 2 , B 6 , C, E, K, PP and beta-carotene. The percentage of these vitamins is in direct proportion to the ripeness of tomatoes - the riper and redder they are, the more useful.
Tomatoes contain organic acids (citric, malic, tartaric, and a small amount of oxalic). Tomatoes are a good antidepressant, they regulate the functioning of the nervous system, improve mood thanks to serotonin. Tomatoes have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties due to the content of phytoncides. Tomatoes are very useful for the digestive system, they improve digestion and metabolism.
The composition of the tomato includes a powerful antioxidant - lycopene, a unique natural cure for many diseases, including cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Processed tomatoes have more lycopene than raw ones.
The sharp increase in consumer interest in tomato culture has led to increased work of breeders: now there are already at least 10,000 varieties of tomatoes in the world. The smallest tomato is less than 2 centimeters in diameter, while the largest reaches a weight of almost 1.5 kilograms. There are red, yellow and even black varieties!
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAOSTAT), in terms of cultivation area, tomato ranks first among vegetable crops in the world - a total of about 4 million hectares have been allocated for it. At the same time, 60% of the entire area belongs to protected ground: glass, film greenhouses, off-season greenhouses and shelters.
Most of the "tomato" areas in China - about 1 million hectares (rice. 2 ) .

Almost 50 million tons of tomatoes are grown there, a significant part of which is intended for industrial processing.
In the United States, 12.9 million tons of tomatoes were harvested on 177,000 hectares in 2010. The yield of this vegetable in the United States is one of the highest in the world, the average yield per 1 hectare is more than 72 tons of tomatoes.
The third place in the world in terms of gross harvest belongs to India, where 12.4 million tons were grown. In India, more than 520 thousand hectares are involved, the average yield reaches 24 tons per hectare.
In Turkey, 225 thousand hectares are occupied by tomatoes, in Egypt - about 200 thousand hectares. Egyptian producers grow 8.5 million tons, and Turkish farmers - more than 10 million tons of tomatoes per year, and their volumes are growing every year. The yield of tomatoes in these countries is 42-45 tons per hectare.
A significant difference in yields is explained by the agricultural technologies used, as well as the share of protected ground in the total area of ​​tomato plantations in the country.
In the countries of Eastern and Northern Europe, tomato is mainly grown in protected ground. It occupies 70-90% of the exploited area of ​​industrial greenhouses.
Russia is in the 6th place in the world in terms of area and 12th in tomato production. In 2011, we have grown about 2.4 million tons of tomatoes in all types of farms (rice. 3 ) .

The volume of local tomato production is now almost 3 times lower than 20 years ago. Moreover, personal farms of the population (LHN) collect the bulk of the crop - about 90%.
On the territory of Russia, tomatoes are industrially grown in open ground, in film and winter glass or plastic greenhouses.
The vast majority of domestic tomatoes are grown in open ground and in spring greenhouses of personal and subsidiary farms of the population and are intended primarily for personal consumption of citizens. A very small part of LHN tomatoes is sold at local vegetable markets and fairs.
The main part of domestic protected ground tomatoes for sale is grown in industrial greenhouses. Households of the population use spring and summer greenhouses and film greenhouses, which help to get a crop earlier by 2-3 weeks of harvest open ground, however, in the cold season, greenhouse tomatoes are grown exclusively in an industrial way.
The share of protected ground in the area of ​​tomato production is still low. Of the 1.8 thousand hectares of industrial greenhouses, tomatoes account for 15-20% of the area in the winter-spring turnover and 70-80% in the summer-autumn turnover.
Research into the field of greenhouse vegetable growing by Growth Technologies shows that the industrial greenhouses of the Southern and North Caucasian Federal Districts, in comparison with other regions of the Russian Federation, pay much more attention to the cultivation of tomato crops.
Half of the harvest of greenhouse vegetables harvested in 2011 in the south represented a wide range of tomatoes, including varieties not widely distributed in the Russian Federation: red and yellow cherry, cocktail, plum, pink, BIF. In industrial greenhouses of the Central and Volga Federal Districts, the share of tomatoes among greenhouse crops is almost 2 times lower. In the North-Western, Ural and Siberian districts cucumber occupies up to 85-90% of the gross harvest.
Domestic export of fresh tomatoes between regions allows redistributing a rich harvest from the southern regions to the northern and eastern ones. Nevertheless, the average Russian indicator of domestic production of fresh tomatoes on an industrial scale is only 1.64 kg per person per year, which is absolutely insufficient for domestic market demand.
In many countries of the world, the protected ground industry occupies a leading position in the production of vegetables. Experts predict that in the foreseeable future developed countries crop production will almost completely switch to technologies for growing most agricultural crops in protected ground.
The bulk of the tomatoes, which averaged almost 15 kg per person in 2011, are obtained by Russians from personal gardens. (rice. 4 ) .

The deficit of the domestic market of fresh tomatoes is successfully compensated by import producers. Especially obvious is the predominance of overseas vegetables in the cold season.
The Russian market of greenhouse vegetables is oversaturated with imported products, the total volume of imports of greenhouse vegetables for the period 2000-2010 increased by more than 300%. Since 2006, the increase in imports has significantly outpaced the growth in the production of gross greenhouse products of domestic producers.
According to analysts at Technology Growth, in the winter-spring period, imported tomatoes occupy up to 95% of the Russian market, depending on the region.
In 2011, only official imports of fresh tomatoes through Russian customs exceeded 755,000 tons. (rice. 5 ) .

In 2012, the trend towards a gradual reduction in the cost of fresh tomatoes imported to Russia, while reducing the growth rate of import volumes, becomes obvious.
Turkey has been the absolute leader among importers of fresh tomatoes to Russia for many years - it accounts for 45 to 50% of all tomato imports (rice. 6 ) .

The main advantages of Turkish tomatoes have been and remain the low cost of production and the possibility of stable supplies throughout the year.
The second place by a large margin is consistently occupied by China.
Countries in the third position change from year to year, but Ukraine, the Netherlands, Azerbaijan and Morocco are most often here.
The potential of the domestic tomato market is currently many times greater than the current volume of industrial production.
Detailed information on the balance and forecasts of supply and demand in the segment of fresh tomatoes in Russia is given in the study Fresh Tomatoes (TN VED 070200).

* Calculations use average data for Russia

The Russian tomato market is characterized by a low level of self-sufficiency. Own production for the most part is the cultivation of tomatoes in the open field. The gross harvest of open ground tomatoes is more than 80%, while that of protected ground tomatoes is less than 20%. At the moment, domestic agricultural producers cannot provide the country with greenhouse products in the off-season, meeting the needs of the population by only a quarter. As a result of this, on Russian market Despite the measures taken for import substitution, imports play a significant role.

SOWING AREA

Rosstat statistics show that in the period from 2005 to 2015. sown areas for growing tomatoes in open ground in Russia in all types of farms remain approximately at the same level and, according to the latest data, amount to 119 thousand hectares. The exception was 2007, when 104,000 hectares fell on tomato crops. The decrease in the number of sown areas is most noticeable in comparison with the indicators of 15 years ago, when about 141 thousand hectares were used for growing tomatoes.

The main share of sown areas for open ground tomatoes in Russia (more than 86%) falls on the non-commodity sector, i.e. tomatoes grown by the population for personal consumption. The joint share of agricultural organizations, peasant farms and individual entrepreneurs is only 14%. The area of ​​the industrial sector has decreased by 5 thousand hectares since 2011 (-24%), since 2001 - by 11 thousand hectares (-46%).

Russia occupies the 8th place in the world in terms of sown areas for tomatoes. Most of the territory for these purposes is involved in China, India and Nigeria - the area there is 1001 thousand hectares, 882 thousand hectares and 541.8 thousand hectares, respectively. They are followed by: one of the main suppliers of greenhouse tomatoes to Russia, Turkey (319.1 thousand ha), Egypt (214 thousand ha), USA (163.4 thousand ha) and Iran (159.1 thousand ha) .

COLLECTIONS OF TOMATOES IN OPEN AND INCLUDED GROUND

Against the background of other large countries of the world, the volume of tomato harvests in Russia, for various reasons, is not so large. China is the world leader in tomato harvesting. According to the latest FAO data, almost 53 million tons are collected in this country annually. The leaders also include India (18.7 million tons), USA (14.5 million tons), Turkey (11.8 million tons) and Egypt (8.3 million tons).

The gross harvest of tomatoes in Russia is 2839 thousand tons, of which 2282 thousand tons are harvested from open ground tomatoes (80.4%), 557 thousand tons (19.6%) are harvested from open ground tomatoes. Compared to 2014, the gross harvest of tomatoes in Russia increased by 20 thousand tons (+0.7%), compared to five years ago - by 401 thousand tons (+16.4%).

The highest growth rates are observed in the collections of greenhouse tomatoes. Thus, relative to 2014, the increase was 7.3%, and relative to 2011 - 135%. That is, in five years, the production of greenhouse tomatoes in the country has more than doubled. However, most of the crops of greenhouse tomatoes in the country (60%) still fall on the crops of the population. For the share of agricultural organizations and farms remains 223 thousand tons or 40% of the total production of greenhouse tomatoes.

Despite the decrease in the volume of sown areas, in Russia there is also a tendency to increase the gross harvest of open ground tomatoes. Since 2011, the harvest of tomatoes in all types of farms has increased by 81 thousand tons (+3.7%), since 2006 - by 355 thousand tons (+18.4%), since 2001 - by 568 thousand tons ( +33.1%. As for the commodity sector, growth is also recorded here, while its pace is more significant - since 2011, gross collections have increased by 5.2%, since 2006 - by 20.8%, since 2001 - (+ 66.3% ). Experts attribute the increase in yields primarily to the introduction of drip irrigation technology in the cultivation of tomatoes.

CONSUMPTION OF TOMATOES

In 2015, tomato consumption in Russia decreased by 4.7% compared to 2014. The main reasons for this can be called a decrease in the income of the population and the introduction of an embargo against the largest supplier tomatoes - Turkey. Per capita consumption of tomatoes decreased by 6.4%, amounting to 23.9 kg per year.

Figure 8. Dynamics of tomato consumption in Russia, 2013-2015, thousand tons

IMPORT AND EXPORT OF TOMATOES

Over the past few years, tomato imports have shown a steady downward trend amid the depreciation of the ruble and the course taken towards import substitution. This fact has a positive effect on investment attractiveness greenhouse business However, at the same time, it negatively affects the supply of imported seeds for sowing, which are not produced in Russia, as well as some types of materials and equipment.

Today, imports account for about 24% of the Russian market. In 2015, Turkey was the leader in import deliveries (more than 52% of imports), which traditionally sent greenhouse tomatoes to Russia. In 2016, due to the imposition of an embargo on tomatoes from this country, the situation changed. According to the results of nine months of 2016, the main supplier was the representatives of Morocco (88.7 thousand tons) and Azerbaijan (86 thousand tons), which increased their supplies to our country by 158% and 56%, respectively. However, other countries could not replace Turkey - the total drop in imports in the third quarter of 2016 amounted to 32% (365 thousand tons).

The export of tomatoes from Russia is insignificant, although in 2015 it increased significantly and amounted to 11,750 tons. However, such growth can rather be called episodic, which is confirmed by the data of the Federal Customs Service of Russia. Here we are talking about one-time transactions, and export volumes are measured not in millions, but only in thousands of dollars.

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

The course taken by the state for import substitution should help domestic producers gain a foothold in the market in the face of reduced imports. We are talking about growing tomatoes indoors. Increasing the number open spaces seems inefficient due to the fact that the demand for tomatoes in August-September (harvest period) is small, and imports in these months are reduced to a minimum. Earlier, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation announced plans to lift the embargo on Turkish vegetables no earlier than in 2-3 years in order to contribute to the development of its own industry for the production of domestic greenhouse products.

Foreign exporters have long settled on the Russian tomato market. However, not all products that come to our shelves from abroad can be called good.

The volume of imports of tomatoes to Russia is amazing: last year alone it amounted to about 600 thousand tons. So far, imports account for at least 50% of all products.

In Russia, the foreign origin of goods is often associated with high quality, but this is not entirely true for tomatoes. For starters, it’s worth figuring out where “foreigners” get on the shelves of domestic stores.

Exporting countries

There are several main countries that supply tomatoes to Russia. Mainly, these are Turkey, Azerbaijan, Morocco, Iran and China. Unfortunately, often imported products are not the most High Quality, and Russian regulators are unable to monitor compliance with sanitary standards in exporting countries. In addition, imported tomatoes are picked from the branch while still green, as their transportation to our country takes about two weeks. But tomatoes are not bananas or avocados and cannot fully ripen if they are picked. Useful substances accumulate in tomatoes only on a branch in the process of ripening.

Imported tomatoes are often heavily loaded with pesticides. There are especially a lot of them in tomatoes from China, which are mainly supplied to the northern regions of the Russian Federation. When such a product reaches the store, it already acquires a white tint. Thus, pesticides become visible on the surface of the fruit. At the same time, the cost of tomatoes brought from abroad remains high, but the lack of an alternative forces consumers to purchase a low-quality product.

Another exporting country is Uzbekistan. Uzbek tomatoes are distinguished by a high sugar content, and manufacturers achieve this without the use of artificial nutrition. This favorably distinguishes Uzbek tomatoes from other imported ones. However, both cannot be called affordable for the consumer - for example, the price of Uzbek tomatoes in the season (June - August) averages about 300 rubles per 1 kg, in the off-season - twice or even three times more expensive.

Turkish tomatoes, on the other hand, have a relatively low wholesale price- about 70 rubles per 1 kg, which is even lower than the production cost of domestic tomatoes. However, the quality is noticeably worse and such tomatoes are stored for two or three days at most - the shelf life of Russian ones is ten times longer.

But what about import substitution?

Despite the policy of import substitution taken by the Government of the Russian Federation, foreign tomatoes will still dominate our market for some time. At the same time, there are no prerequisites for their quality to improve: in Russia there is a high demand for tomatoes, which is why foreign producers do not pay great attention organoleptic properties of products, relying only on crop volumes. The situation is complicated by the fact that due to the high tariffs for electricity required for greenhouse complexes, prices for Russian tomatoes are higher than for foreign ones.

One more problem Russian manufacturers- strong dependence on foreign seeds. Nevertheless, Russian scientists are actively conducting scientific developments to develop their own seed production and selection. Federal Scientific and Technical Development Program Agriculture stipulates that by 2026 the supply of original and elite seeds in the most import-dependent crops should increase to at least 75%.

The growth of the domestic market gives reason to hope for the best in the near future: as analysts predict, by 2021-2022 the share of Russian manufacturers will grow to 80%, which will displace low-quality foreign products. V Lately our manufacturers have already begun to fill this niche with high-quality and safe products.

How to choose quality tomatoes?

To choose high-quality tomatoes, you need to pay attention to three important factors: manufacturer, appearance and smell of the fruit. Carefully study the label and information about where the tomatoes grew. It is safe to say that domestic products are much better quality. Among Russian tomatoes, it is better to buy those grown in the Stavropol Territory, where there is more natural light than, for example, in the Belgorod and Kaluga regions.

It is best to buy packaged fruits in a package, and not loose in a box, as happens in some stores. This is safer from the point of view of hygiene, and will also give confidence that this is a Russian tomato. When selling tomatoes in bulk, when they are openly available in boxes, the probability of random or non-random re-sorting is too high when a tomato, say, from Turkey, ends up in a box of some Stavropol producer. And this despite the fact that the price of domestic tomato, as a rule, is higher.

Appearance and smell can tell a lot about the quality of tomatoes. The surface of a mature tomato is dense and elastic, but not too thick, like those grown with nitrates. In addition, there should be no damage, rotting spots, white streaks, greenish stains under the skin, dried patches or dots of different sizes on the surface.

Good tomatoes have a uniform color, with the exception of striped varieties. The surface of the tomatoes should be shiny, but excessive gloss indicates that the fruit has been treated with paraffin or wax-based substances to preserve marketable condition. The danger of such substances is that they are not washed off with water and can lead to indigestion.

Ripe and natural fruits always have a slightly pronounced, but pleasant, characteristic warm and sweet smell, and the tastier and juicier the aroma, the better the fruit. Although it should be borne in mind that the stems, leaves and brushes of tomatoes have the most intense tomato flavor. Therefore, if you buy a tomato without a branch, then most likely you will not hear a strong smell.

It is also useful to pay attention to the weight of the fruit. The lungs will be with voids inside and there will be more moisture in them than pulp. Moderately dense and weighty tomatoes are usually fleshy and there is much less moisture in them.

Recently, small tomatoes - cherry and cocktail varieties - are gaining popularity in Russia. These fruits have a diameter of 25 to 45 mm, are sold both on branches and individually in individual packaging. They tend to be more fragrant and sweet. Russian agronomists have successfully learned to grow these varieties, so the offer and assortment is growing year by year. However, many consumers are lost, do not know how to eat them. Meanwhile, the varietal feature of small tomatoes, especially cherry tomatoes, is that in addition to higher sweetness, they also have more, compared to ordinary tomatoes, reserves of vitamin C and lycopene, powerful antioxidants. Lycopene is even recognized as one of the strongest plant defenders of the body against cancer cells.

Therefore, especially in the cold season, when the immune system needs support so much, it is worth consuming more of these healthy tomatoes.

And here, too, it is worth making a choice in favor of Russian products, since the most ripe and sweet cherry tomatoes and cocktail tomatoes are grown in the Stavropol Territory.

Tomatoes are the most popular and ubiquitous vegetable crops in the world. The volumes of their production and consumption are gradually growing: over the past 30 years, the world tomato market has tripled. Today, the volume of the world market of tomatoes is more than 160 million tons.

The fresh tomato market in Russia differs from the markets of other types fresh vegetables both in terms of volume, structure, dynamics, demand, and the diversity of the assortment. Until 2015, several times more tomatoes were supplied from abroad than were collected in domestic greenhouses, and 2 times more than were grown in open ground by all commercial producers. At the end of 2018, thanks to the growth of domestic production and a decrease in imports, every third tomato was already grown in Russian greenhouses.

St. Petersburg is the largest consumer agglomeration of fresh tomatoes among all regions of Russia, a competitive market in the fresh tomato segment. The high demand of the multi-million population and healthy eating trends contribute to the formation of huge volumes of supplies of fresh tomatoes to the city from abroad and from other regions of the country.

Properties and value of tomatoes

The mountainous regions of Peru and Ecuador are considered to be the birthplace of tomatoes, where they were cultivated by the ancient Aztecs and Incas as early as the beginning of the 8th century AD. In the middle of the 16th century, tomatoes first came to Portugal and Spain, and from there spread throughout Europe. In Russia, they learned about tomatoes in the 18th century, but for almost 100 years they were used only as an ornamental plant.

The long history of penetration of tomatoes into the European market has contributed to giving this wonderful culture especially romantic names. The Italians called them "golden apples", the Germans - "paradise apples", and the French - "love apples", believing that they have aphrodisiac properties.

The special biological value of tomatoes is universally recognized. They include sugars (mainly fructose and glucose), mineral salts: iodine, potassium, phosphorus, boron, magnesium, sodium, manganese, calcium, iron, copper, zinc. Tomatoes are rich in vitamins A, B, B2, B6, C, E, K, PP and beta-carotene. The percentage of these vitamins is directly dependent on the ripeness of the tomatoes.

The composition of the tomato includes a powerful antioxidant - lycopene - a component due to which the tomato acquires a red color. This microelement has properties similar to beta-carotene, it is a unique natural medicine for many diseases, including cancer and cardiovascular diseases. This flavonoid stimulates the formation of bone tissue.

World market of tomatoes

Tomatoes are among the most consumed vegetables in the world. Thanks to the modernization of the technologies and materials used, the volume of tomato consumption has increased significantly in recent decades. The total area of ​​tomato plantations worldwide is 5 million hectares. On average, productivity per 1 sq. m is 3.7 kg.

China is the largest producer of tomatoes in the world. It produces more than 30% of all tomatoes in the world (56.3 out of 177 million tons) and is ahead of India, the second largest producer in the world, by almost 3 times. Tomatoes are one of the most important crops in Morocco and Turkey, having previously had experience importing tomatoes from Turkish Cyprus, Romania and Ukraine.

About 75% of tomato production comes from Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and France. About 94% of tomatoes in Italy, Spain and Portugal are sent for processing. Thanks to the introduction of new varieties, especially in the segment of snack and cocktail tomatoes, the average selling price of these fruits increased by 20% in France, Germany, Italy and Spain. On average, Europeans consume annually 15 kg of tomatoes per person. In 2030, consumption is estimated to be 14.4 kg per year per person.

In the US, there is currently a large volume of products on the market. The market is dominated by domestic tomato production from Florida and Texas, as well as imports from Mexico. Mexico (1,612 thousand tons) remains the main supplier of tomatoes to the United States, accounting for 90% of total imports. Canada (165 thousand tons) is significantly behind Mexico in terms of imports with a share of 9%. Also, some insignificant shipments of tomatoes come from the Dominican Republic and Guatemala. The U.S. tomato market is projected to reach 16.4 million tonnes by 2025.

In Russia own production for the most part represents the cultivation of tomatoes in open ground. The gross harvest of open ground tomatoes is more than 80%, while that of protected ground tomatoes is less than 20%. As a result, imports play a significant role in the Russian market. Tomatoes are imported to Russia from Turkey, China, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Italy, Israel and Egypt.

Now the cultivation of greenhouse vegetables in Russia is growing steadily. Last year, about 150 hectares of high-tech greenhouses were launched.

Growth in tomato consumption

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAOSTAT), in terms of cultivation area, tomato ranks first among vegetable crops in the world - a total of about 4 million hectares have been allocated for it. At the same time, 60% of the entire area belongs to protected ground: glass, film greenhouses, off-season greenhouses and shelters.

The sharp increase in consumer interest in tomato culture has led to increased work of breeders: now there are already at least 10,000 varieties of tomatoes in the world. The smallest tomato is less than 2 centimeters in diameter, while the largest reaches a weight of almost 1.5 kilograms.

There are hundreds of types of tomatoes - small cherry tomatoes the size of a grape, huge Bull's Heart tomatoes weighing 600-800 grams, juicy for salads and fleshy for pasta, campari and "cream". The color of the fruit, in addition to red, can vary from white, orange, yellow, green to purple and even black.

New varieties of tomatoes differ not only in taste and fruit size, but also in the shape of the bush. These are the usual bush tomatoes, up to 2 meters high, tomatoes. And ampelous - with drooping shoots and medium-sized fruits, and dwarf - up to 40-45 cm in height. The taste of dwarf and ampelous tomatoes is in no way inferior to the usual bush ones.

Gourmets and lovers of exquisite taste may be interested in unusual varieties of tomatoes that have a color close to black. These are ordinary varieties created by classical breeding by crossing wild and red-fruited tomatoes. The first of them were created by Soviet scientists in the middle of the last century.

The color of these tomatoes varies from purple-brown to chocolate, due to the presence of anthocyanin pigments, quite common among vegetables. They can be found in purple eggplants, beets, red cabbage, and many other fruits.
