John Drake Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Durian prices already sky high I'm guessing because of exports, mainly to China. Same with chicken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durian fruit is so expensive! China is definitely a big fan. China is cultivating its own Durian And in a few years they'll not be needing Thailand's. A big problem is Thai fruits not passing inspection because of the the massive amounts of pesticides found on and in an their fruits. There sent back to wherever for Thais to consume.
