Malaysia: Mandarin oranges costly this Chinese New Year
Yeo, who is also the Chinese Section secretary of the Sibu Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCCI), told The Borneo Post mandarin oranges were costlier last year due to the strong US currency. He said he was importing fewer mandarin oranges this year, just like his colleague wholesalers. “I don’t dare order bigger quantities this year, looking at the people’s disposable incomes. After the Chinese New Year, there will be no more demand for the oranges.”
