Market Day at Zango market

Hello hivans, good afternoon from here and I hope you have all been good? Thank God it's Friday and while everyone is busy doing one thing or the other I decided to visit a market not too far from my workplace to check out what they have in stock.

It's usually our off season time around November, I'm into farming chemicals and insecticides and we already got to a point where we hardly sell our goods out to customers. We got some really bad weather this year and things didn't end up the way we expected. Too many flood destroyed many homes and many farms were washed away.

• MY EXPECTATIONS WHILE GOING TO THE MARKET
Actually my expectations were more than I met because I expected to see many fruits. The Hausas (sellers) I met there usually bring in all sorts of fruits like watermelon, pineapples, etc but on getting there, they just started with their order from the north and other places they get their fruits from. It's was a disappointment for me but I just felt I went at the wrong time.

The oranges aren't that bad except for the fact that some were rotten. It usually happens to fruit, they mostly get rotten on the way or while they are being kept. Even on the farms where farmers plant them, they are so prone to so many deficiencies and end up losing their beauty hence bad for consumption.

The good ones are being separated from the bad ones and the bad ones are eventually thrown away. It takes a lot of hard work to offload such amount of oranges from a truck like that and then sorting them out is kind of hard but it's their work and they know how they do it.

The ones in the sacks are meant to be sold to the retailers at a cheap price just like it is in a chain distribution of consumption. It was a great visit and I would be visiting some other time too and I hope I meet many other things I missed this time.

Thanks for viewing my blog and a big appreciation to the community for this opportunity
