Background
Typically, the peak durian season in Malaysia is from May to August annually.
However, as a result of the floods, the peak durian season was expected to be delayed to around early June.
The price of imported durians from Johor was also expected to increase in June, as floods reduced durian supply by up to 50 per cent, reported The Star on Mar. 19.
Johor state is one of the largest durian producing areas in Malaysia.
That said, durian prices can vary due to supply and demand fluctuations.
The Star interviewed a Malaysian durian seller more recently on May 6, who explained that good pest management resulted in better quality and quantity of durians in the most recent harvest.
As such, he predicted that prices would drop by 5 per cent to 10 per cent for most durians.
