Great Question!

While tomatoes are an essential good product, the increase in price of Gasoline have far more wide-ranging effects on the national economy.

An increase in the price of Gasoline, increases the cost of transport and every mode of transport running on Gas.

Running agricultural machinery becomes more expensive, running transport lorries and buses becomes more expensive and even air travel and cost of sea shipping increases.

It all adds up to increasing the cost of almost everything that is important, exported or simply travels within the country

What is the geographical significance of dutch empire during WWI
lord [1]

The Dutch colonial empire (Dutch: Nederlandse koloniale rijk) comprised the overseas territories and trading posts controlled and administered by Dutch chartered companies—mainly the Dutch West India Company and the Dutch East India Company—and subsequently by the Dutch Republic (1581–1795), and by the modern Kingdom of the Netherlands after 1815.[1] It was initially a trade-based system which derived most of its influence from merchant enterprise and from Dutch control of international maritime shipping routes through strategically placed outposts, rather than from expansive territorial ventures.[2][1] The Dutch were among the earliest empire-builders of Europe, following Spain and Portugal.
