MCO couldn’t come between Malaysians and their love for durians... but the weather might
“There is still a demand for packed durians as they were mainly the staple during the restricted phases of the MCO, but with the easing of the order, people will flock to the stalls to pick and choose,” said Kie.
“At the same time, we also stock limited amounts of hybrid favourites such as IOI, Musang King and Cap MIA that cost RM30 to RM55 per kilogramme,” said Firoz. He said that only half of the fruits from each tree ended up being harvested, but added that sales remain profitable as there is still demand from wholesalers around Perak.
“Admittedly, since MCO restrictions were eased, my sales have seen a 30 per cent increase, but this still cannot compare to how things were before the pandemic hit us,” Leng said. “I can only hope things go back to the way they were, as I must say I miss the sight of people eating durians heartily at the stalls,” Leng said.
“I would estimate that my sales have gone up by 20 to 30 per cent at the very least. The only drawback is the lower than average crop yield this season,” Wong said.
