Because of its wider adaptability and versatility, tomato is grown throughout the world either in outdoors or indoors. It is universally treated as "productive" as well as "protective food" having medicinal value, too. In many countries it is considered as "poor man's orange" because of its attractive appearance and nutritive value. It is a typical day neutral plant and self pollinated crop, but certain percentage of out-crossing also occurs.
