A bumper harvest has led to an oversupply of durian, causing prices to fall significantly.
This is due to a bumper harvest, leading to a situation known as “durian tsunami” where an oversupply in the market causes prices to tumble.
Administrative executive Lim Mei Ling, 34, said the price drop is a welcome surprise.
“Normally, I would think twice before buying Musang King. But now, I can enjoy this premium durian and keep some for later,” she said.
Engineer Kelvin Tan, 41, said he travelled from Kuala Lumpur to Raub with a few friends to make the most of the lower prices.
“It feels like a rare chance to enjoy Musang King without paying a bomb,” he said.
