Actually they do not try to hide also. So any person will notice them sooner or, latter.. Many of them get tea n coffee from the home they are shadowing..

yes to some extent. like tea/coffee products, lol even best quality mangoes are exported.

Darjeeling Tea is one .

Then is coffee .

Indian coffee is said to be the finest coffee grown in the shade rather than direct sunlight anywhere in the world.

Almost 80% of the country's coffee production is exported. Of that which is exported, 70% is bound for Germany, Russian federation, Spain, Belgium, Slovenia, United States, Japan, Greece, Netherlands and France, and Italy accounts for 29% of the exports.

And all the good Konkan/Ratnagiri Alphonso Mangoes are exported as well . I make yearly visits to Mango Plantations in Ratnagiri to secure some before they leave .

The irony (tragedy) of this is that people in Konkan do not get to eat the best of their crop of mangoes. I knew a trader/exporter in Bombay who I accompanied to Devgad and got our family's stock. The family who owned the orchard did not have free access to the produce since they had auctioned their yearly crop to the trader. Then I found that story repeat itself many times with other local people.
Funny situation!

This is true . That is why i go to people who have a couple of trees . Small farmers . Good Produce , great price .

And the sad part is when the same small farmer sits with a "Tokri" of mangoes on Highways around Mumbai and Pune no one buys from him except people who know , while the zombie crowd will throng the food malls to buy inferior quality mangoes with Stickers and A nice box .Aakhir Reputation bhi cheez hoti hai na

That is true. BTW; how are the mangoes this year in "amchi Pune"? Are the prices going up still? Heard that the supply has been pretty good this year.

Prices are better than last year . Mangoes have started flooding in . All kinds though i will wait for first showers of monsoon . It is after that you get mangoes which become ripe on trees . Rite now its more often than not the produce is calcium Carbide cooked .
