M S Sai Preeti Tomato Suppliers

We spend most of our time here in Narayangaon dealing with crates and crates of tomatoes. It is a busy place, especially when the trucks start rolling in early. My name is on the sign but really it is a team effort to get everything sorted before the sun gets too high. We deal with farmers from around the area and then send the produce out to different markets. Some days are slower than others, but mostly it is just about moving the stock and making sure the quality is okay for the buyers. The floor is usually covered in bits of leaves and there is always a noise of people shouting prices or loading vehicles. It isn’t fancy work, but it keeps us moving. We’ve been at this spot for a while now. You get used to the smell of fresh tomatoes and the dust from the road. Sometimes the weather makes things difficult, like when it rains too hard and the trucks get stuck, but we manage. I spend a lot of time on the phone or checking the weights. My hands are usually stained by the end of the shift. We just try to keep things honest and make sure the crates are full. It is just a regular business here in the heart of the tomato belt. We don't have a big office or anything, just the shed and the scales and enough space for the tempos to park. That's about it.
