Malaysia’s durian market sees a sharp price drop as a “durian tsunami” drives down costs for consumers, particularly for premium Musang King. Multiple reports describe Musang King prices falling to around RM9 per kilogram, with some buyers finding the fruit “dirt cheap” compared with usual rates. The decline is attributed to a bumper harvest that creates an oversupply in supply chains and retail markets, which pushes prices down. One outlet also reports that the lower prices are expected to persist for a period extending to August, suggesting the oversupply may last through the current season’s peak output. Shoppers interviewed describe the situation as a welcome change, with some saying they would normally delay purchasing Musang King but are now buying more and even reserving some for later. Overall, the coverage agrees that the combination of abundant production and market saturation is easing prices for durian lovers across Malaysia.
