Farmers harvest durians, and they deliver the fruit to integrated processing farms. Processed durians go through importers before they are sold in the market.
  • Durian growers tend to be mainly small scale averaging 2~3ha
  • Traditional Value chain: Farmers contact traders to negotiate pricing from domestic market. Farmgate price is around half the domestic retail price.
  • Traders/processing firms are the one’s responsible to bear the harvest cost.
  • For export, food processing traders conducts pre-season contracts with farmers.
  • Hypermarkets and major supermarkets growth have created new value chains, where they deal pre-season contracts directly with farmers to control quality and volume supply.
