McDonald’s has stopped using tomatoes in food preparations at most of its
locations in northern and eastern India amid a fivefold surge in prices as
adverse weather conditions have limited the crop’s output.
The global fast food chain cited the non-availability of quality products “
due to seasonal crop issues” as reason for curbing tomato usage, according
to a public relations spokeswoman for the company in India.
由于不利的天气条件限制了作物的产量，导致价格飙升五倍，麦当劳在印度北部和东部的
大部分门店已停止使用番茄来制作食品。
据该公司驻印度公关发言人称，这家全球快餐连锁店将“由于季节性作物问题”而无法提
供优质产品作为限制番茄使用的原因。
“We are working towards resolving this issue by employing sustainable
agriculture practices including hydroponically-grown tomatoes in a completely
controlled environment to de-risk our requirements from vagaries of season,”
the representative wrote in an email.
While tomatoes usually become expensive in the lean production months of June
and July, prices of the Indian household staple have spiked recently as
delayed monsoons, heavy rains and hotter-than normal temperatures have
impacted the country’s growing areas.
在一封电子邮件中写道：“我们正在努力通过采用可持续农业实践来解决这个问题，包括
在完全受控的环境中水耕番茄，以降低我们的需求因季节变化而产生的风险。”
虽然番茄在六月和七月的减产期通常会变得昂贵，但由于季风延迟、暴雨和高于正常气
温影响了该国的种植地区，这种印度家庭主食的价格最近飙升。
Tomatoes are used widely in cuisines across India and price jumps can trigger
widespread protests similar to those caused by onions, which have literally
toppled governments in the South Asian nation.
在印度各地的美食中被广泛使用，价格上涨可能会引发类似于洋葱引起的广泛抗议，洋葱
实际上已经重创了这个南亚国家的政府。
Cost fluctuations can also scramble central bank efforts to control inflation
and its disproportionate impact on economically vulnerable groups, according
to a study by researchers at the Reserve Bank of India published on July 6.
印度储备银行研究人员 7 月 6 日发布的 一项研究显示，成本波动还会扰乱央行控制通
胀的努力，及其对经济弱势群体的不成比例的影响。
Tomatoes, onions and potatoes make up a small portion of the nation’s
Consumer Price Index Combined basket but are major contributors to the
volatility of headline inflation, the study said. A rise in their prices can
lead to cost increases of other vegetables and goods, and negatively impact
inflation and food security.
研究称，番茄、洋葱和马铃薯仅占美国消费者价格指数综合篮子的一小部分，但却是总体
通胀波动的主要因素。价格上涨可能导致其他蔬菜和商品的成本增加，并对通货膨胀和粮
食安全产生负面影响。
