Durian, I think everyone is familiar with it. It is one of the most famous fruits in tropical countries. Its fruit is the size of a football, with solid skin, dense triangular thorns, yellowish flesh, sticky and juicy, and it is a fruit with great economic value. Moreover, people can simply say that they love and hate it. What they love is its softness and sweetness, and what they hate is that it smells slightly. Durian is native to Malaysia, but now Thailand produces the most durian, and it is also planted in Guangdong and Hainan in China.

Durian is a very tangled fruit. Durian is regarded as a fruit for religious worship in many places in Thailand, but it is forbidden to be carried in public places such as hotels because of its pungent smell. Although durian is extremely smelly, people who love it don't dislike it, but those who hate it can't wait to throw it away. In fact, durian is known as the "king of fruits", and its nutrient content is quite rich and high. However, its pungent smell greatly reduces its image, and many people can't enjoy its delicious food all their lives because they can't stand its smell.

Although durian is delicious, we all know that even in the season when durian is abundant, the price of nostalgia remains high. Many people love it, but they say they can't afford it. In fact, the price of durian is so high that there is evidence to support it. Fruit farmers have said four reasons.

transportation cost

Durian sold in China is basically produced in Thailand, and the shelf life of durian itself is extremely short, so it is usually picked when it is not fully ripe. If it is completely ripe on the tree, it may have begun to rot before it is shipped out of Thailand, so we must pay special attention to preservation during transportation, which will directly lead to the price increase, and the price will be higher when it arrives in China.

pluck

Durian is sometimes really a dangerous thing. In the season when the fruit is ripe, the fruit falls off every hour. If there are workers or passers-by, it is likely to be injured, and once it is injured, it must not be a minor injury. Durian's hard thorns will directly prick the skin, especially when it falls from the sky, with great strength. Although there are no cases of being killed by durian, it is really not safe.

quantity demanded

Thailand is the main producing area of durian. Most durian in China comes from Thailand, and according to the way of eating goods in China, this is not enough, which directly leads to the shortage of durian in Thailand, and it is naturally more expensive to export it to China.

wastage

Durian is too easy to deteriorate, and its shelf life is quite short, especially the ripe durian has a shelf life of only two days at most. If it is put together in large quantities, once one of them is corrupted, the box is basically broken, so when durian is imported, this part of the price is also included in durian, and the natural price is even higher!
