Adivasi Women Sell Custard Apples Along National Highway 44

Adivasi and Dalit women in Adilabad are selling custard apples and Budam Pandlu along the highway.

These fruits, known for their sweetness and potential health benefits, are in high demand.

Sellers set up shop along National Highway 44, especially at Mekalagandi crossing.

This year, the harvest is plentiful, leading to lower prices and more customers.

Many travelers are buying the fruit in bulk to take to cities like Hyderabad and Nagpur.

For the women, selling the fruit provides crucial income, especially since their crops were damaged by heavy rains.
