So every Musang King durian -as well as other varieties- will be given QR Codes in the future, and the public can scan the code using their mobile phones. In China, where the Musang King is very popular, the QR Code will make it easier to identify the durian’s country of origin, and its authenticity.
The Minister said thus far 569,087 Musang King trees have been planted on 23,700 hectares of land, out of a total of 66,000 hectares allotted for durian trees nationwide. In total about 1.5 million durian trees of different varieties have been planted.
