PETALING JAYA: There s plenty of good reasons why the durian is called the king of fruits.
Durio zibethinus Murr – the botanical name of the Malaysian durian – reigns supreme as the country’s top fruit with 377,251 metric tonnes produced in 2019, according to the Agriculture Department.
Its figures show that durian is planted on a total of 70,286ha of land – this is almost equal to the size of Singapore, which is 72,830ha in terms of land area.
Malaysia’s durians are also proving to be resilient in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The country’s durian season started in May, but the lockdown has made it hard to buy the fruit directly from stalls or by the roadside.
