I just figured they had government subsidies. But immediately after posting I decided that the price seemed wrong. There are some references to California producers accepting a contract for that amount, but I have to think it is an error. I can't find a single link for commodity prices of tomatoes. Maybe as you imply they aren't sold as commodities because the shelf life is too low.
