A nationwide surplus of durian is causing prices to plummet, with even premium varieties now selling for under RM20 per kilogram. Traders report an abundance of the fruit across the country, leading to the unexpected price drop. This contrasts with previous years where high demand often drove prices upwards. The current oversupply benefits consumers, making the typically expensive fruit more accessible. While beneficial for buyers, the lower prices may impact the income of durian farmers. The situation highlights the impact of harvest yields on market prices for this popular Southeast Asian fruit.
