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.
