Musang King prices dropped over 40%

The durian season in Malaysia usually starts in May, and this thorny fruit will start appearing in fruit stalls everywher. However, durians aren’t exactly cheap. Particularly pricey are premium varieties like Musang King, Red Prawn and XO.

However, the price for Musang King is expected to dro further to RM20 per kg (€4.28) as supply is outpacing demand at the moment.

In fact, even though Malaysia is supplying durians over to Singapore, the prices for Musang King there have dropped to as low as RM45 per kg (€9.63) compared to the same time last year wher the same durians were sold for double the price.

Melissa Yap, the chairman for Pahang’s fruit farmers’ association, when interviewed by CNA said that this decrease in durian prices is influenced by a few factors. Apparently, there has been a bumper crop of durians this time around and since it is currently the Ramadan month, the demand for the king of fruits has lessened considerably.

It is quoted her as saying: “It is fasting month, so people living in Peninsula Malaysia are not eating durians as much in the day time. Also, good weather means that there has been a bumper crop in many states. A combination of these factors could have led to the lower prices.”
