Large volumes of Malaysian durians will be harvested in July

The Malaysian durian harvest season has began. Manager He, a spokesperson for Malaysia Newleaf Plantation Berhad, lately talked concerning the present circumstances in Malaysian durian plantations.

Malaysia has two durian manufacturing seasons per 12 months, in June and December. “Last 12 months when the bushes started to blossom, the wet season in Pahang started early and drastically decreased the quantity of flowers. That is why the harvest is smaller this season. Rainy and overcast climate are horrible for the expansion of durian fruit. The total manufacturing quantity declined by 20%,” defined supervisor He. “This season the climate is sort of alright, and the durian bushes expended fewer vitamins final season when the harvest was smaller. That is why the harvest is now fairly good. Farmers have begun to tie up the fruit, and the primary durian are already falling from the bushes. Large volumes of durian are anticipated in July.”
“The durian value was slightly excessive final season as a result of the manufacturing quantity declined. The value remains to be fairly excessive as a result of market demand for durian continues to develop in China and the remainder of Asia. I believe that the value will even exceed final season’s value,” mentioned supervisor He. “The rising durian value appears to have little affect on durian customers. The loyalty of Chinese customers for Musang King durian in explicit stays sturdy.”

Thailand has quickly expanded durian exports to China in the previous couple of years. When requested concerning the variations between Thai and Malaysian durian, supervisor He replied: “Other plantations all harvest unripe durian after which artificially stimulate the ripening course of throughout transport. This has a big impact on the flavour. Malaysian durian are harvested in the normal method. They should be utterly ripe and fall from the bushes by themselves, earlier than they’re prepared for the market. The pure taste is superior and the product high quality is healthier, however the shelf life is far shorter. The fruit typically begins to deteriorate in three days. The durian require a lot care throughout each step of the availability chain, from harvesting and processing to move and retail. The fruit flesh shouldn’t be disturbed throughout these phases, as a result of as quickly because the fruit flesh is disturbed, then the fermentation course of begins and the durian begins to emit its perfume. Only after the durian arrives on the market stall, simply earlier than the durian is bought, then we shake the durian to launch its perfume. That is the way you obtain essentially the most optimum taste and perfume. That is why Malaysian durian are distinctive.”
