S M Jaggery

You’ll find us at number 48 in Sohawal. We are sitting right near the toll tax plaza, so there’s always the sound of trucks and cars slowing down or speeding up. It’s a busy road, which makes things easy for transport but it gets pretty noisy during the day. We focus on jaggery, plain and simple. There isn't any big story about why we started, we just needed a way to make a living and this is what we knew how to do. The building is practical, with enough space for the processing and the bags. We spend a lot of time checking the quality of what comes in. If the weather is too humid, it makes the jaggery soft, so we have to watch that closely. It’s a lot of physical labor, moving heavy sacks and making sure the storage stays dry. We aren't trying to be the biggest name out there or anything. We just want to do a job that we can be okay with at the end of the day. Sometimes the dust from the road gets inside, so we are always cleaning. It’s just a small team of us working here. We don't have fancy brochures or a marketing person. If you need us, you just come to the plaza and look for the sign at forty-eight.
