Shop 43/1 works both sides of the trade — auctioning a grower’s consignment on commission, and supplying graded fruit outright to buyers who need a guaranteed load.
A commission agent works for the grower; a merchant works for the buyer. G. S. Fruits does both from shop 43/1, which is why a consignment can be auctioned in the morning and loaded out to a retailer by noon.
We stand in for the grower on the auction floor — receiving the consignment, grading it, calling the lots and settling the account.
When a buyer needs a guaranteed load rather than an auction outcome, we buy the fruit outright and supply it against a fixed rate.
Every consignment is worked over before it is called. Grading is the difference between a fair rate and a discounted one.
Fruit that sits loses money. Sold lots are weighed, loaded and away the same morning, on the buyer’s vehicle or one we book.
Growers deciding when to dispatch and buyers planning a purchase both need today’s number, not last week’s.
Arrivals land overnight and sell at dawn, so consignments are held properly for the hours in between.
A retailer buying two crates and a grower sending half a truck need different things from the same shop. Both get a straight answer on rate and timing.

Every consignment follows the same five steps, whether it is half a truck of sitaphal or a full load of mosambi.
Trucks reach the market overnight. Lots are unloaded, counted against the challan and stacked under our shop number before first light.
Fruit is sorted by size, colour and firmness. Damaged pieces come out, and each grade is lotted separately so it fetches its own rate.
Lots are called from around 6 AM in front of the buyers physically present. The rate a lot fetches is the rate that goes on the patti.
Sold lots are weighed, packed and loaded for the buyer’s vehicle or a booked transport, usually within the same morning.
The grower receives an itemised account — quantity, rate, commission, mandi charges and freight — followed by payment on the agreed cycle.
Growers looking for an honest auction and buyers looking for graded stock get the same answer — a phone call and a straight rate. Message us on WhatsApp with what you have or what you need.
