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.
由於不利的天氣條件限制了作物的產量，導致價格飆升五倍，麥當勞在印度北部和東部的
大部分門店已停止使用番茄來製作食品。
據該公司駐印度公關發言人稱，這家全球快餐連鎖店將“由於季節性作物問題”而無法提
供優質產品作為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.
在一封電子郵件中寫道：“我們正在努力通過採用可持續農業實踐來解決這個問題，包括
在完全受控的環境中水耕番茄，以降低我們的需求因季節變化而產生的風險。”
雖然番茄在六月和七月的減產期通常會變得昂貴，但由於季風延遲、暴雨和高於正常氣
溫影響了該國的種植地區，這種印度家庭主食的價格最近飆升。
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廣泛使用，價格上漲可能會引發類似於洋蔥引起的廣泛抗議，洋蔥
實際上已經重創了這個南亞國家的政府。
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.
印度儲備銀行研究人員 7 月 6 日發布的 一項研究顯示，成本波動還會擾亂央行控制通
脹的努力，及其對經濟弱勢群體的不成比例的影響。
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.
研究稱，番茄、洋蔥和馬鈴薯僅占美國消費者價格指數綜合籃子的一小部分，但卻是總體
通脹波動的主要因素。價格上漲可能導致其他蔬菜和商品的成本增加，並對通貨膨脹和糧
食安全產生負面影響。
