Here are some statues/monuments dedicated to a tomato plant and located in CIS (a former Soviet Union) and a worldwide:

Oleshki (former Tsyuryupinsk) is a small town near Kherson city in Ukraine. This is a Ukrainian tomato capital. This artwork has been installed in 2011 in the day of 927th universary of this town. Really nice!

There is one more artwork "To a Tomato plant, a breadwinner" in the neighbour Zaporozhie region of Ukraine in Kamenka-Dnieprovskaya town.

Tomato artwork in Syzran (Russia)

Tomato artwork in Minusinsk, Siberia (Russia)

Rotterdam, Holland

Turkey

USA
Pittston, PA. So called A Quality Tomato Capital of the World Statue. Quite nice, but why "of the World"? Of USA would be more correct

There are some annual events there like the tomato festival and a tomato fight.

All these places are famous because of tomato growing

Plus A sliced tomato sculpture outside the Farmer's market in Nashville.
