This week’s Fruit and Vegetable Personality, 2021

By

Savitri Boodram. Aka Sabo –

Our first fruits and vegetables personality 2021 is Savitri Boodram known as ‘Sabo.’ A widow and a mother of three children ‘Sabo’ is a resident of Port Mourant. She has been a fruit and vegetable vendor in the Port Mourant and Rose Hall Markets for more than thirty five years, buying from farmers and re-selling. Guyana, ‘Sabo’ says, is currently in a season of “cheap’ fruit and vegetables. She says that you can get a quantity of just about any vegetable for $100.00 and is urging Guyanese to take advantage of the seasonal bargain. Some favored fruits, she says, “like mango and sapodilla,’ are out of season. That is the time, she says, when people come looking for them.
