The team at our disposal will strive to make sure that the durian is of the highest standard in the highest quality”. The main durian varieties are Monthong, Kradumthong and Chanee.
Chris has shared her own experience working on durian: “Despite the changing conditions, durian production has become more lucrative for farmers, which has increased the size of their harvest. But, the change in conditions have also resulted in lower production per tree because of heavy rainfall and unstable weather pattern. Recently, isolated storms have damaged the fruit orchards as well as to growing trees.”

In April, the middle is the beginning of the durian season in Eastern Thailand. Chris’s firm is waiting on consumer payments to put containers that are in the orchards as well as many Chinese customers visit packing houses as well as durian orchards in these days.
