Here in my country people are not interested about the variety of the tomato, only by size and shape. This is because the agriculture is underdeveloped.
It doesn't worth to work the land because you won't get a price when you want to sell the crop. In this way we can buy from supermarket imported tasteless tomato but very good looking and with almost perfect shape and good price (not cheap).
Instead cultivating or buying from local growers all big companies prefer to import the vegetables and fruits.
I attached a pdf file that describe best the tomato market from here.
I'm sure that we have a few good local tomato variety developed in time but very difficult to know the names and almost impossible to find seeds.
Thanks for the replies.
Best regards,
Catalin
