SLC26-W2 | Street Business Diaries: Street Fruit, vegetable and fish sales
Everyplace in the world has this law that taking video without the consent of a person is punishable by the law, today was different for me, I can't imagine taking this video with a fruit seller who is a woman, it is no news that crazy life threatening things are happening around for a woman she thinks differently and may not allow Photography, this woman's business is growing because she sells even on Sunday after service she is consistent in her business, I walk up to her bought a few fruits told her about the challenge, immediately she told me come back on Monday so I can arrange more fruits on the table, I told her the deadline for this contest and opted in, gave me a chance to take pictures from all angles, she was busy washing the utensils used in cutting, the cleanliness here is very attractive to customers

Items at high demand in your area? (FRUITS)
After requesting for a permission to shoot a video with this woman she didn't regest my request, the woman is very simple and jovial, I made a few inquiry you can see them from my hand movements, fruits are in high demands in my country, because people take a lot of fruits after every meal for easy digestion, most people who have lost appetite take fruits to regain them, doctors even recommend fruits like Oranges and banana for easy digestion and since oranges contain vitamin C, it is recommended to boost immunity
I asked this woman how her business is going and how the sales are going and also which fruit are mostly bought by customers, from the picture above we can see that oranges are much, and banana, I forget to mention banana boost sperm counts, I have heard of this many times from street men, teachers and even medical doctors and it is recommended to men who wishes to satisfy their wife sexually by boosting their sex hormone, Cucumbers are at high demands, because it contain a lot of water and can be used for hydration..

METHODS USED TO ATTRACT CUSTOMERS?
Once you stop by a fruits vendor on the road, you can't leave without buying something unless the seller doesn't have the fruit you want or maybe for some fruits like pawpaw it may likely soften without the sellers knowledge if it is exposed to sunlight for long, or if it stays in the bag for long, to avoid customers complains and arguments, the fruits vendor keep his or her table clean and void of soft fruits, some fruits of which is not sweet when taken if it is too soft.
The fruits arrangement is another attractive thing, for me this table arrangement is very attractive and the fruits are positioning are in groups, no fruits were scattered in the table.
There is what will call Jara which means extra, in most fruits not tied like tomatoes, and cucumbers the seller may give an extra of a smaller cucumber to add up to your purchase. Most times it depends on the relationship with the customer and the frequency of patronage.
The Roles of Fruit Vending Business in Health
From the pictures you can see the lineups of fruits vendors in my locality, most drugs have a particular fruits extract as their active ingredient, in blood tonics it is most likely that vitamin C is included, fruits are more like drugs as it is said that people who consume fruits often has a lower tendency to be ill since fruits serves as a prevention.
I know of a fruit which can subside constipation and also prevent a sick person from vomiting, I am not feeling too strong at the moment, I am sick and for months I haven't taken enough fruits, so if I had taken fruits it wouldn't have been a case, with some fruits now I am able to regain my appetite after vomiting today.
