According to Citrus expert Mr. Lim,” Black Thorn has a sweet flavor that the Chinese areas are favoring, compared to Musang King, which is somewhat terrible.”
” To be related and contend for China’s growing desire, we may be flexible to these changes in taste and adjust quickly”, he added.
According to Mr. Chong, Musang King accounts for 36 % of Malaysia’s total durian production market while Black Thorn only accounts for 1 % of the total market, according to data released by the agricultural ministry.  ,
However, community durians, which are mostly consumed directly, accounts for 38 per share of output while D24 varieties make up 11 per share. The remaining ones are hybrid durian clones, which account for 14 % of the country’s edible produce.  ,
However, according to Mr. Chong, this is likely to change because the Chinese culture has changed, despite the fact that the Black Thorn versions cost significantly more than the Musang King types.  ,  ,
Musang Kings price RM50 per pounds, while Black Thorns usually cost RM80 per pounds in Malaysia.  ,
” In China, the smaller the edible range, the more interest it gets and the consumers will need a style of it”, said Mr Chong.  ,
He continued, nevertheless, that Malaysia may first make sure its farms are protected from extreme conditions, which will probably get worse in the years to come, as a result of climate change.  ,
A Grade A premium fruit will only be a grade B or C, according to Mr. Chong, and regardless of which variety, you wo n’t be able to get the same price and quality you want.  ,
” The fruit you desire will not grow, and the fragrance you want will not be there,” he continued.  ,
