Durga Fruit Agency

Our spot is at 143 Azadpur, right in the thick of the Sabzi Mandi. If you've ever been to this part of town, you know it’s a bit of a maze with all the trucks and loaders. We are pretty close to the Indraprastha Cold Store which is a landmark everyone knows. At Durga Fruit Agency, we handle a lot of different fruits depending on the season. In the summers it’s all mangoes and in winters we see more apples. It’s hard work, mostly lifting and sorting. The shop isn’t very big but we make it work by stacking things high. We don’t have a website or anything like that, just our physical shop where we do business face to face. My brothers and I are usually here from early morning until the late afternoon. Sometimes the market gets so crowded you can barely walk, but that's just part of life in Azadpur. We see the same faces every week and that's how we like it. The walls are a bit dusty and the floor is always covered in bits of hay from the packaging, but it's a real place of work. We aren't trying to be something we aren't. We just provide the fruits that come in from the farms. People know where to find us when they need a bulk order or just want to see what's fresh today. It is a noisy place but it's home to us.
