Durian lovers, get ready to pay more for your Musang King due to Malaysia situation

Brace yourselves durian lovers, be prepared to fork out more for your beloved Musang King as prices of durians here are expected to be higher once the durian season gets under way.Across the borders, heavy rains have resulted in lower yields for the fruit, which is usually harvested between late May to early June, Malaysian durian producers told news publication The Malaysian Insight on Friday .

What this simply means, said several Singapore durian sellers to AsiaOne, is that it will be "unavoidable" that Singaporeans will have to pay more for their durian fix since the cost of the fruit from Malaysia has increased. Founder Kelvin Tan estimated that prices of all varieties of durians here will increase from 10 to 25 per cent this season."We haven't really started the season yet… [But] I am quite sure that the price [of durians] will not be cheap this year," he added.

Tan, who owns a durian store along Rangoon Road, said that he expects the increase to range from $2 to $3 per kilogram this season.
