If you can please take a close up pic of both sides of a leaf and the fruit. It will help people to better ID what the issue is.

I am sure with that much rain and humidity it is probably a fungus based issue.

The bleach solution might work though it looks pretty advanced.

you can also in the future use tepung soda pengembang kue or as we call it baking soda before the plants get this bad this is considered organic but needs to be used before it spreads to control it

Baking soda spray is reputed to be effective to treat late blight, early blight and other fungus problems. Mix 1 tbsp. baking soda and 2 1/2 tbsp. vegetable oil in one gallon of water. After mixing, add one half tsp. of dish soap. Spray the tomato plant once a week, coating the leaves and stems. Spray after the hottest sun of the day is over.
Its usually there is something white on the leaf like powder but sticky to the leave. Its usually appears after the fruit set and its start from the lowest leave and goes up. Even the new sucker leaf got it too.

I think there is nothing else to do at thats stage because I harvest it all today but do you think its stay in the soil. Is it good idea to compost the soil in container to compost bin. I had new tomato but the lowest leave also got this. They were in the same location (roof). But in others location don't get it (porch/veranda).

I had baking soda at home I think I will try it.

Thanks
