Why Are Malaysian Durians So Expensive

Durians are widely consumed in South East Asia, especially in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. Marked by its pungent smell, it is a highly polarizing fruit.
Some people love it while others simply hate it.
High quality Malaysian durians are highly priced, and in some instances, could fetch upwards of USD60 per fruit that weighs 2kg.
Learn more about how Malaysian durians are cultivated and why they command such a high price.

Thankx Boss for sharing the knowledge of durians👍

[@chiangchengkooi9791]

When Durian ripe it fall down naturally. That why Malaysian durian taste better because it ripe naturally. The shelf lifw durian is very short after it ripe. Thailand harvest their durian unripe and the advantage is longer shelf live. Thailand also take their durian unripe. They like the crunch like eating apple.

Hi please bro how much is the tree of durian if you know

[@Yoyoyoyoasshole]

No one likes a crunchy durian bro…. Shipping was more expensive and less accessible to the smaller/ better quality companies….

go to Davao City.. it will cost you less than 1 dollar any variety.

I respectively disagree with this. Its not because of labor. Every durian grower has this challenges. What makes Malaysian durians, is the quality, taste and uniqueness. Only in a certain condition, can selective breed of durians can grow to be delicious.

[@abdmanafali2975]

Expensive? that depends on supply/demand as well as type of durian. We have people selling durians in Kota Kinabalu from RM3.50 (USD 0.84 cents) perkilogram...

satu hari nanti, mungkin lagi 5 ke 10 tahun harga Musang King akan jatuh jugak bila pengeluaran dah terlalu banyak hingga melebihi permintaan. mungkin nasib MK takkan seteruk D24 dulu tapi harga tetap akan turun & berlaku lambakkan. tengok saja la ladang2 durian di Pahang terutama Raub & Bentong. kebanyakkannya semua tanam MK, Ochee & D24. varieti durian semakin rendah di Pahang. mungkin sekitar 5-6 jenis je yg ada

And also it is worldwide export, most of them going to china and malaysian's neighbour countries, that is why it is expensive

Hahahaha susah btul jaga durian..dlu2 di kampung senang ja durian jatuh jual or mkn haha😂😂 the easy part is if anyone wanna go eat durian and wants cheap and quality go to sarawak and sabah..our durians are more fresher than what they are hving in this video. No need to ikat2 the durian and all. Durian jatuh kutip and mkn

[@perwiranegara4679]

memang jatuh ke tanah baru lengkap proses matang durian. dia org ikat sebab kalau durian jatuh ke tanah, kemungkinan akan ada yg pecah atau merekah. kulit Musang King agak nipis. harga akan jatuh atau tak boleh jual.
untuk eksport ke luar negara, memang kebanyakkan durian seperti MK akan diikat atau dipasang jaring di bawah pokok. selain tiada risiko merekah, buah juga akan tahan lebih lama dalam 2 3 hari. jadi sesuai untuk eksport

Durian are nice in the past. Nowadays, many stalls durian taste horrible. Reason being they have a weird chemical taste to it. I will stop eating after 3 seeds. However those without chemical taste, i will stop eating after eating 3 fruits, but its hard to find. I wonder how 99durian taste like....

Mengarut je..dulu kat kg takde nak ikat2..jatuh dan terus jual..jaga pun kalau pokok durian masih kecik..dah besor takde nak jg sgt cuma bersih bawah pokok je sbb senang nak kutip doyan..tp skrg sbb diorang dah komersialkan doyan ni maka doyan dijaga konon nak bg elok..yg jadi tempiasnya harga doyan jd mahal sbb puak ni yg buat harga.

di Balik Pulau, Penang pun banyak kebun durian dah mula ikat buah atau pasang jaring di bawah pokok. sebab tu selain bau, kadang2 ada penjual durian yg akan hentak buah ke lantai beberapa kali untuk pastikan isi durian dah masak
