KOTA BHARU – The Kelantan government, in collaboration with the state Agriculture Department, will build two cold rooms, costing RM1 million, to store Musang King durian for export early next year.
State Agriculture, Agro-based Industry, Biotechnology, Green Technology and Environment Committee chairman Tuan Mohd Saripudin Tuan Ismail said that he was looking for suitable sites for the project, especially in areas with the most durian yields such as Tanah Merah and Jeli.

“Previously, the Musang King variety in Tanah Merah became a pioneer of quality durian but the fruit had to be sent to Raub, Pahang as we lacked a collection point.
