- China's demand for durian keeps rising but Vietnamese farmers are worried it may be very hard for Vietnam's supply to keep up in the long run. CNA's Tung Ngo has more.
In Malaysia, we don't grow durians near downstream river, let alone near to the sea or in the middle of a small island. We always plant it on the hills, or upstream. I believe Vietnam do this because it's the only areas with climate closest to rainforest.
it's because the soil and the weather in that area are ideal for farming activities.
@@xdas32 farming maybe, but perhaps not forestry concerning an upland species
this video is mostly propaganda. people in Vietnam have common sense. the largest durian area is in Tay Nguyen, which is a highland; and second largest is the Mekong delta. People in this video plant their durian tree near the river because that the only land they own.
If you have tasted Vietnam durian, they are not even close to the quality of those from Malaysia.
@@2laidragon What quality of taste makes the Malaysian durian superior to those grown in other countries? Sweeter, creamier, something else? I love the durian I get here in The Philippines.
I'm Chinese， I only eat Thai Golden Pillow durian and Malaysian Musang King durian
This is first time to hear farmers felt sad for rising sales😂
CNA propaganda It is do negative reporting according to US request.
@@hclau218😱 how to trust CNA
CNA is a US minions!
its not the rising sales they are sad off its extreme weather condition. the title is clickbaity but if u watch the whole video its basically about climate change,
They are sad for being unable to keep up to the demand.
Is it me, or does it look like they are dying the durian?
it is dyed. i think with some protective dye, from insects or keep it fresh. durian goes bad easily
a protective layer, preventing ethylene gas from causing durian to ripen too early. The mechanism is similar to protective wax on the surface of apples in the US and Europe.
There's a reason Durian is grown in forest and the hills. You need good drainage, and cooler temperatures. This is why Raub is the way it is.
And that is why the legalised pirates came and seized all those durian trees from the planters.

@@firedup692the only time that happened was when European sail to south east Asia with war junks to plunder and colonize Vietnam and other south east Asian. This lasted two hundred years with genocide all over the place.
those farm is without any approval from the authority and the court order against them . @@firedup692
Good drainage not cooler temps otherwise it would have taken over florida
Given these appointments, it is not surprising that some Singaporeans may question the potential conflicts of interest involved
Thailand farmers are growing this and they are profiting handsomely from this.
There are many delicious and famous fruits in Vietnam such as Hung Yen Lychee, Hung Yen Longan, Mango Moc Chau and Mango Vinh Long, Rambutan Vinh Long, Mangosteen Hau Giang, Jackfruit Long An, Wartermelon Sam Son etc. more but I can't remember all of them
South Indian states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala also have small scale durian plantations. They were planted by migrant workers who returned home from working in Malaya back then.
Jai Hind
Why buy Indian durians when you can get the real and better thing from SE Asia?
Interesting. Durian can be planted anywhere if need be. I bet even in south America it can grow well if somebody wants to work on it.
Why indians have to plug their stuff everywhere? What's with the insecurity bro
I wonder who is blocking the water from flowing to Vietnam?
The dang greedy neighbor has no respect for anyone.
Best durians are from Malaysia.
those from vietnam maybe used for ice cream and desserts as manufacturers can add more flavours to it...
Best Modified ones lol! Thailand is known for Durian!
@@Iceyfire12I am with you on this one
@@Iceyfire12 The term "durian" itself is malay. Duri= thorns , durian= thorny.
@@Iceyfire12 yes, thailand is known for tasteless durians. eating thai durian is like eating ice cream without the cream
anyone noticed their gloves were soaked green and one side of the arranged durians were super green😂
I bought one yesterday, and it stank up the whole house.
Yeah. However, once you try a couple times, you will be addicted to the texture especially when you got a quality one from part of southern Thailand and Northern Malaysia region.
You should smear it on your pillow and it won't stink anymore
For normal market demand, China buys Thai and Vietnamese durians. For special quality durians, mainland Chinese, HK and Macau afficionados will buy Malaysian durians.
Nope..mesia durian too stinky and gassy...
Musang King is too expensive and yields are low. The Ri6 is a lighter choice on the wallet. Of course the quality is about 75-80% compared to Malaysian durian but it is cheap and popular.
Durian is too expensive in the Chinese market, usually around $9 per kilogram
Oh, it costs about $2-$5/Kg in Vietnam. It's sad that Ri6 can't become a popular fruit abroad.
In Vietnam, cost about 2.9 USD/kg
Durian grown in this Province of Cambodia, KAMPOT, is among the best in the world just like the Cigar has to be grown in Cuba (best quality of land).
Didnt china dam the upstream inside china? Hence the low level of water downstream. 😢
In 2023, more than 90% of Vietnam's total rice exports, valued at $4.78 billion USD, came from the Mekong Delta region. Plus, Vietnam exported durians worth $2.3 billion USD in the same year. Vietnam is worried about Cambodia's construction of the Funan Techo canal, which makes sense. The money Cambodia pays Vietnam for transportation fees is much less compared to what Vietnam earns from exporting rice and durians from the Mekong Delta region.
Same problem as in Thailand, climates change, droughts even the most rain provinces of Thailand in Ranong has lack of water ,the government did some clouds seeding and it works for a few minutes rains
Oh, so USA and Australia or Western countries do not have climate problems? Just shut up already. You people always trying to denigrade Asian countries and idolising Western countries makes me puke.
Hainan island has durian farms too.
For another example, the Colorado River flowing through Mexico from California.
Personally, I like the many variety of tastes n flavors of Malaysia's durian; the best to me.
because of green dye?
That durian why so green 💚🍏 ? That sight now sweet fruit 🍑🍓
So the Chinese aren't spending on anything and you somehow expect them to be buying a lot of durians? How does that work? 🤣
Super
Only CNA can twist the increased demand as something bad for Vietnam. Is this typical of Singapore intellect? 🤣🤣
mini B,,,,B...C
Divide and conquer Singapore style..🤣😂.
repeater Train by same groups.
Typical western midia question to downp1ay . others achievements ..
😅 "At what price ? "
Did u watch the whole story? I bet u didn't
You have problems understanding English or you did not watch the video?
Vietnamese delta farmers will be even worse off when Cambodia finishes its 170km canal project from Phnom Penh to the sea diverting some Mekong water into this canal.
No fruit screams “Don’t eat me” as loudly as a durian
This fruit smells good. You put it in the fridge, you smell the whole year.😂
Thai durians are much more delicious.
While the Companies Act does not limit the number of directorships that an individual may hold for Singapore-incorporated companies
I recognize that fruit thing from the Avenger's Endgame intro when Thanos is gathering some for a soup he had simmering in his hut, right before those self-absorbed busybodies thoughtlessly just waltzed up onto his property, then proceeded to trespass and home invasion him, then interrogated him, maimed him by dismembering his arm, and ultimately decapitated him, so rudely when alls he was trying to do was kick them dogs up, lean back in his easychair n' relax with a delicious-looking stew made of whatever these spiky green apple things are 🤷🏻♂
It is also worth considering why a bilateral relationship-building entity such as Business China is operating under a non-profit organization
Even if one durian sell for 400 million usd they also won't be happy lah😂

Vietnamese durian exports to china 2023 reachs 2.14 billion US dollars
Why Compete with Thailand when you have other products??? When has Thailand Competed in a Vietnamese dominant product???
@@Iceyfire12 Make money?
Go compete with thailand as much as you want. The thing is we thai cant eat expensive durian because chinese outbid us.
Inflation adjusted, the price rise 3 times compared to 30 years ago. I havent eaten it for like 20 years
*THAT'S HOW CHINESE BUSINESSMEN BEAT THE CAPITAL OUTFLOW RESTRICTIONS BY THE CHINA GOVERNMENT. THEY OVERPAY FOR THE IMPORTS TO CHINA, AND THEY ARE PAYING TO A VIETNAM EXPORTER WHO IS ACTUALLY THEIR OWN PROXY!!*
@@Iceyfire12Are you educated in the USA? You talk like an "entitled" American.
As the biggest equator country, Indonesia has more varient of them. The smell is so good though 😊
You can see the durian is plucked out of the tree not fell off the tree naturally
More and more chemicals added to the soil for fast growth..How can EAT?? 😢😢😢
I don't think chemical, more like their durian not ripe enough how to eat.
❤❤❤
Sluice gates will cause silt accumulation.
Water channels must not be straight.
It must be winding into curves.
Water must be kept in shade.
In malaysia greedy durian farmers are always happy. While fellow country have to suffer high price from unable to enjoy local fruits.
That fresh durian should look like, not drop from ground.
Why is Vietnam not happy with more sales? Oh well, I am sure Malaysia and Thailand can sell more.
Smog is a major problem
No worry, China has already started their own domestic durian plantations and some time in the future they might even export durians to you.
They can grow it but the quality is something else.
Taste will make difference..depends on the soil
It would cost them more to copy native climate, might as well just buy regionally
@@kamelyoj3711but taste can be adapted also.. if u feed a kid Chinese durian for 2 or 3 years, he or she will grow up getting used to it.
Also a lower quality durian can still be processed into foods like Durian puffs, durian icecream, durian cakes etc..
@@lingth yeah..for domestically..consuming..but not the Export..quality,as the first commentor said..other countries..will prefer..better for their own taste buds..its like..growing up,sweet potato..planted in mountain..and the other one..in flat ground..if you know this..you will see the difference.
as political leaders within the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP) are already tasked with multiple roles while still serving their constituents.
@martinbrock713 Are you implying that the WP opposition MPs are not serving their constituents in spite of them drawing their MP allowances?
he stressed that Singapore-incorporated companies are subjected to additional requirements relating to board appointments, given the public interest involved.
Most farmer cries…from Drought,lack of water.
Some durian farm use lot of money just to maintain them😢…
Some suffer from floods!…😢
The most delicious durian is from philippines
NO WATER FOR BAD POLICY
always wish we're all do well in the states but do no harm. me no want any entity to instigate problems that potentially damage the close ties se asian countries had for 1 another for ages either :) we're peace-loving people yet we know how to defend for 1 another.
Vietnam oppressed Lao and Cambodia, let China oppressed Vietnam with water shortage.
Look so not ripe and full of chemicals
Why i dont like my country ( Vietnam) to grow durian:
1. Too much chemical involved in the process of growing, that poisons the soil, the water, people health.
2. Too much water needed for irrigation, mostly ground water .. eventually not sustainable.
3. Deforestation, as durian trees prefer hilly landscape, people turn whatever forest left into plantation, especially in central highland.
4. Dependent on one market, which will lead to economic disaster.
The recent heat wave is not caused by nature, its man made problem. We need to restore the forest, find more peaceful way to live with mother earth. We cant just run after money and be greedy with no limit. How much is enough ?!
No one forced Vietnam to grow durian.
If Vietnam stops exporting durian, Thailand will support it with both hands.
@@jogana6909😮😂
3 điều đầu tiên thật là nhảm nhí
your mother and your father are not Vietnamese LOL
Vietnamise and Forest can’t be separated,,, now it’s tragic
headed by individuals who hold government positions, has board members who are ministers and funded by the Tote Board, which is supposed to fund charities?
Durian quality: coming in no.3 Vietnam….in second place at no.2 Thailand…and the best durian goes to Malaysia, world class durian champion
不知道马来西亚榴莲什么价格？在中国买泰国榴莲价格正常都在30RMB=500g，买一个榴莲都要200RMB左右
Although durian is a popular fruit in the Chinese market, however it is extremely rare or never seen durians from Vietnam, mostly from Thailand instead.
The farmers even grow durian in Hainan province which is the second largest island of China.
We can't grow enough and China pays the best, so it's not exported to your country
Down here we get to taste Malaysian, Thai and Vietnamese durian. Vietnamese durian is value for money. However, quality needs a little improvement. Malaysian durian far too expensive for average consumer. Thai durian meaty but abit bland in taste.
Đúng cheu Việt nam
Why do people eat it?
We eat dogs.
who eats very green unripe durian?
Thailand don't eat overripe durian.
The durian is Soak in green coloring lol
CNA is utterly ridiculous
The dang greedy neighbor to the north of Vietnam
If it's not good, don't plant it. Both Thailand and Malaysia are willing to increase trade. Normal trade activities are consensual. It's not forced labor. If you don't want to, just stop and do what you like.
Why do you think this is forced labour? Durian plantations are a massive investment. You don't just simply give up once you've invested so much
@@d.b.2215It is forced labour because CNA pushing American propaganda say so.
Tried Vietnam and Thailand durian. Both not that nice.. Malaysian durian still the best
there are alot of different kind of Durians in Malaysia, i bet u havent yet tried the real good durians, which only the locals look for. me for example, i prefer the ones with no name such as d24 or etc. they might not be famous, but they are certainly good
Lasst year, Vn exported durians to China and earned more than 2,3 billion usd, this year Vn farmers can earn more than 5 billion usd from China,around 50% China market for durians. I”m sure they are very sad because they earn too much money 😂
If you like the smell of poop, you will love Durian.
The best durian is always in Malaysia. So we never compete 😂
But it is too expensive and scarce
Yeah, the whole situation stinks. Jk, I love Durian (king of the fruits).
Do not eat durian.. this is a secret that can't be unveiled.

Vietnam still need to catch up with Thailand on quality of the durian and longan. They are behind Thailand considerably.
No They shouldn’t even compete with Thailand in Durian they should stick to their own Agriculture and Dominant products! Has Thailand competed with Vietnam on their Dominant Produce???
The quality of durians and longan from Thailand is so so bad!!! It tastes mostly sour and covered with much chemicals 😔😔😔
@@haims7056 lmtooo the hilarity! People flock to Thailand just I eat fruits!!! Koreans etc come to thailand just to eat fruits in Thailand!
@@Iceyfire12 And eat chemicals too 🥴🥴🥴
@@haims7056 if Thailand has chemicals so does Malaydesh and VietOrange! I know there are ppl still suffering from that!
duriannya kecil kecil dari vietnam gak kenyang lah
Most of vietnam will be the new seafloor in about 8-10 yrs, same scenario in China
South China Morning Post and CNA align themselves well on China matters - turn good or neutral issues into bad, bad into worse. The affected editorial staff members are filled with CIA trained agents so doubt.
I'm Vietnamese, but I never eat durian, it smells stinky. Poop
You will get diabetes by eating durian. I am one of the victims.
LMOA ,,, you blame just Durian that is foolish. Look at your entire diet ,, probably eating trash including very large amounts of rice
@tilapiadave3234 Why don't you try to eat 3 durians per week. See whether you can still laugh or not. Idiot.
Hoped China doest import durians from VN, so normal Vietnamese can have cheaper price with quality durians.
If you are not happy don’t grow it then. Thailand produce plenty 😂
But the quality of Thai products is so so bad....
@@haims7056really u hv any proof show us chin...!!
Din Romania Romania.
Vietnamese durian not that good but cheap price.
La dovete finire di parlare inglese?
We don't buy Vietnam durian for a reason. Don't bite the hand that feeds you
i am curious, whats the reason?
Average Khmer attitude as always🤡
If you don't know that the best Durian is from Malaysia , you better keep your mouth shut. I'm farming Durian in Việt Nam OK.
Can't Vietnam build their own reservoirs within their country to store water instead of only depending on the Mekong river for fresh water? Funny how people still have to draw water directly from Mekong River for their own daily use. Seems to be lacking in infrastructure.
Because there has been ruled by a stupid communist leaders.😎
The Vietnamese government prioritizes modern infrastructure in Northern Vietnam and they only want to develop Northern Vietnam. I live in the Mekong region. Southern Vietnam feels unfair to the people.
@@OniK3TV.Maybe because you in the South worked with the Americans to murder millions of own people, vietnamese? You don't feel any shame in helping the Americans slaughter your own people?
Why China customers like to spend big money on durians, cherries, wine, beef, lobsters etc? Because China have universal health care , university education and pension scheme. China also has cheapest public transport , electricity, water in the world. For example, people in Shanghai have higher disposable income than people in Tokyo.
Good for Vietnam for overtaking Thailand and Malaysia in just a few years. Malysia cannot produce much as land is in the hands of political devils and racist policies. Farmers are at their mercy if returns are good. Now with lots of Durian supply we can again look forward to some cheaper fruits
In your dream. The price in Thailand has risen up as many trees do not yield or died due to drought.
Viet need to stop complaining. Nobody force Viet to grow and sell durians. China doesn't need to buy it from Viet, period.
We complained because we cannot increase export 100 times instead of only 10 times :D
Vietnam is not complaining. It is just disinformation written by the Americans and pushed by CNA. You should know that by now
The overcapacity contagion has spread to Vietnam.
Human. Keep taking from nature, when the problem occurs then attempt fingers pointing. Vietnamese should learn from China by sacrificing some land for mega reservoirs instead plus ignore outside influences once the project is doable in long term gain vision.
Vietnamese durian tastes so bad tho… most of it is used as ingredients not sold as a single fruit on its own
China should stop buying durians from Viet. They aren't very friendly toward China.
Greed
The lack of water is killing Vietnamese Mekong delta. So durian is first victim of this water shortage. China with its hundreds of dams upstream, Laos ‘dams, and sea level rising are contributing to Vietnam current water problem. In the near future, Cambodia with China’s finance will dig a canal from their Mekong portion of the river to divert additional Mekong river water to Vietnam. Vietnamese rice and fruit farmers in the Mekong river are screwed.
If you want a natural durain to suply in your market , please come to Cambodia!
China order durian they also take the Vietnamese island 🏝 😂

Don't trade then. I am sure the Thai durian farmers will be very happy.
China spoiling the environment which affects the durian production
Oh yeah, China sprayed agent orange all over Vietnam.
