Tomato is one of the most widely consumed agricultural products. The use of fresh tomatoes has been expanding because of the increasing tendency of people to consume all kinds of salads and the use of tomato products such as sauce and tomato paste because of the familiarity of the countries of the world with tomato products and the emergence of export fields.
