A farmer in Dong Nai province, Vietnam, is cultivating unusually golden durian fruit by encasing them in protective sleeves while still on the tree. This innovative method involves completely covering each durian with a bag, resulting in a vibrant, golden-hued yield. The technique is also proving beneficial in pest control, significantly reducing the need for pesticides. The farmer reports a decrease in both disease and insect damage to the fruit. This approach aims to produce a higher-quality, visually striking product while promoting more sustainable agricultural practices. The golden durian is attracting attention for its unique appearance and environmentally conscious cultivation. The farmer hopes this method will become more widespread within the region.
