Jujube binging season brings hope for growers, traders alike Business January 30, 2021 HYDERABAD: Jujube traders are hopeful they will recover losses incurred last year due to prolonged lockdown and closure of markets. Muhammad Ibrahim, a small-scale jujube trader, near Hala New, Matiary district, said there was still some time till the crop changed colour and gained its sweetness. “There is demand all across the country.” Ibrahim collects four-five bags weighing 15-16kg a day, and sells the fruit at Rs800-1,600/bag, depending on the demand. Traders expect better profits this year as they claim the demand has risen. It is because of this that many have started picking the fruit earlier, instead of waiting for it to mature.

Donkeys losing against speedy motorisation in rural areas Business January 22, 2021 HYDERABAD: Increasing motorisation of rural transportation has forced Muhammad Hassan, a donkey cart owner, to sell his beloved animal in the Hala New town market for a mere Rs20,000. He expected to get Rs40,000-50,000 for the donkey. But with nobody willing to pay that much, he compromised on the price so he could buy a motorbike-pulled wooden cart. Hassan is a farmer in village Karam Khan Nizamani near Hala, Matiari district. According to him, gone were the days when rural families considered the donkey important for transporting grass fodder, wheat straw, cotton, wheat, onion and seasonal fruits like mango and jujube during the harvest seasons.
