Durian sellers have reportedly said that the end-of-year durian harvest has been good this year. This was mainly due to both Johor and Pahang harvesting durians at the same time. The weather has also been favourable for the produce and prices are lower due to good supply.
This has not been the case in previous year when lower yields pushed prices up. Musang King durians of better quality were selling for just S$10 per kg. Comparatively, the lowest prices in past years were about S$12 per kg.
211 House of Durian, which specialises in Musang King durians from Bentong, Pahang, has also dropped prices by S$3 per kg. It is now S$16 per kg reported mustsharenews.com
Prices are expected to fall further.
