KUALA BERANG (Bernama): The durian kampung variety grown by smallholders in Terengganu which used to be looked down upon will soon become a premium type of durian equivalent to the Musang King (D197) variety to penetrate the global market, says the state Agriculture, Agro-based Industry and Rural Development Committee.

The committee chairman Dr Azman Ibrahim said efforts to elevate the status of durian kampung are actively being carried out by the Terengganu Agriculture Department through a competition since July, which aims to identify high-quality durian kampung varieties.

"It started at the village level by choosing the best durians to advance to the district and state levels. As a result, we have successfully identified 10 varieties of premium durian kampung that have the same criteria as hybrid durians that are in high demand in the global market today. Also present were state Agriculture Department director Zulkepli Amin Mat Jusoh@Yusof and Prof Jamil Zakaria, lecturer at the Farm Management Centre, Faculty of Bioresources and Food Industry, Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin who acted as the chief judge.

Commenting further, Dr Azman said the competition also aimed to expose the farmers to a more systematic durian farm management system so that the high-quality premium durian kampung could be produced consistently.
