Increasing demand from tourists has resulted to a higher durian prices in Malaysia.
Satisfaction for the tourism sector, which is experiencing an influx of tourists, especially from China and Singapore, but disappointment for durian lovers who notice the sharp rise in the price of their favorite fruit.
Just arrived in Malaysia, Chinese tourists are rushing on durian, especially on the Musang King variety. They prefer durian in Malaysia, fresher and more fragrant, from durian imported to China.
The number of Chinese tourists in Malaysia has increased by more than 50% over the last 3-4 years. The price of durian jumped from RM30 per kilo 3 years ago to RM60 / RM90 per kilo currently. In addition, with this demand rising, we must add this year a delay due to the weather. Production will increase and will continue until August.
