Because it is capitalism. Really good tomatoes are at their best for a few days only which makes them hell to transport. That's why modern tomatoes are bred for color ans size, but inside they are actually green with very hard core and very little natural sugar.

Fish and seafood can be refrigerated. Tomatoes can't, they completely lose their aroma.


That explains it, thanks!
