Answer

The price of tomatoes would decrease.


Step-by-step explanation

The price of a commodity is mostly affected by its quantity in the market.

When the product is more in the market, its value goes down since everyone is almost having it. This makes its price to significantly decrease to as to maintain the sales.

The price of a commodity is inversely proportional to its quantity.
