There’s no such thing as excess durians, as farmers now have the option of freezing and storing the fruit to be sold later or export them to the ever-hungry China. ― Picture by Ahmad Zamzahuri
“There’s no such thing . If there’s excess, we can either make durian paste or freeze the whole fruit and sell it later... we are not dictated by market pricing so much now because we have other ways to clear or store the durians,” orchard owner Datuk Ken Lai was quoted saying. To do this, freshly harvest durians must be frozen within hours of their harvest, and then they can be stored whenever the time is right, and not be at the mercy of market fluctuations.
But Raub has never had a problem selling their durian ever since they started planting it some two decades ago. UN Comtrade data shows durian exports from Malaysia to Thailand rose from 38,765 kg in 2016 to 364,020 kg in 2017.
