Singapore Durian Prices Rise as Malaysia's Season Ends

Austin Quak, the co-founder of Rolling Durian, said the price of Musang King durians is now S$28-S$32 per kilogram. This is up from S$20 last month. The price increase is due to lower supplies from Malaysia.

Quak said prices will keep going up because demand is high and supplies are low.

The price of Musang King durians has also risen at the Dukrian! stall. The founder, Daren Chan, expects prices to stay high or increase next week. This is because many people want to buy Musang King durians at this time of year.

Many people in Singapore like durians, especially Musang King. They like it because it is creamy and has a sweet and bitter taste. Singapore imports most of its durians from Malaysia.

Last month, there were many durians from Malaysia and other places. This caused prices to be low.

There are more durian farms in Malaysia now. This is because farmers are growing durians to sell to China.

There were so many durians that some were given away for free in Singapore.

Alvin Teoh, the owner of Durian 36, said the durian season in Johor is ending. Now, most durians come from Pahang.

Teoh said there are still some durians, but not many.

Durians do not last long, so when there are too many, the extra ones are sold quickly. Then, the supply goes back to normal.

Having more durians does not mean they are better.

Prices might go down in August when there are more durians from Pahang.

Even if there are many durians, they might not be the best quality. This is because some come from new trees that need more time to grow good fruit.

Dukrian!'s Chan said people should look for the best durians, not the cheapest ones.

Some people agree with Chan. A man named Chia said he bought cheap durians, but they were not good.

Chia said the cheap durians were small and did not taste good. He thinks they might not be from Malaysia.

Chia would rather pay more for good durians than buy many bad ones.

He prefers to buy a few good durians from a trusted seller.
