Shriram Vegetable Co.

If you go down to the Sardar Patel Market inside the APMC area in Jamalpur, you will find us at stall number 15. Shriram Vegetable Co. has been a part of this market for a long time. It is a loud, messy, and very busy place to be every single morning. We have to be here before the sun even thinks about coming up. The trucks arrive with crates of vegetables and we start sorting through them right away. It is not a job for someone who likes to sleep in. The floor is usually wet and there are people shouting prices all over the place. Our spot is just one of many, but we have our regulars who come to see us. We don't have any fancy displays. We just stack the crates and let the produce speak for itself. Some days the tomatoes are great, other days the onions are what everyone wants. It is a lot of lifting and moving things around. By noon, the main rush is over and we are usually sitting on a crate having some tea and looking at what is left. Jamalpur is a tough area but it has a lot of life in it. We have worked here so long that the noise doesn't even bother us anymore. It is just how we make our living, one crate at a time.
