Fresh durian exports to China won’t spike prices in Malaysia, assures Fama chief

Exporting fresh durians to China, starting in September, won't affect local prices significantly as only specific varieties like ‘Musang King’ and ‘Black Thorn’ will be exported. Local markets will still have affordable options like ‘durian kampung’. The long durian season ensures ample supply until September.
