SINGAPORE – Durian season is here and prices in Singapore have been plunging, following an increase in the supply of the fruit from Malaysia.

A kilogram of Mao Shan Wang durians is now selling for about $18, down from the usual price of $28.

Mr Loh De Wei, owner of Bao Jiak Durian, told The New Paper last week: “Because of good weather, we are seeing a lot of durians from Pahang and Johor. The quality of durians this week is also much better than last week’s.”

And that is good news for durian lovers here.
