There are five reasons for the high price of durian: first, the investment is large and the cycle is long; Second, the fruit dropping rate is high; Third, the labor cost is expensive; Fourth, the transportation cost is high; Fifth, it is rich in nutritional value. First of all, the planting cost of durian is high and the planting time is quite long. It usually takes eight years to see the benefits. Secondly, durian trees are tall, prickly, easy to break and difficult to pick. In addition, the transportation cost is relatively high, and durian needs to be preserved at low temperature.

Durian is a kind of fruit with expensive price and extremely special taste. Although it smells stinky, it is still very popular. However, everyone has different tastes. Generally, girls think it's delicious, but some boys think it's worse.

Durian is widely planted in some countries in Southeast Asia, especially Thailand. There are many varieties of durian, including more than 200 varieties in Thailand alone.

Among them, the more familiar varieties are Thai gold pillow, green nylon, long handle and striped night cover. There are also Maoshan Wang, Jinfeng, XO, Sultan Wang, D 175 red shrimp, D 163 gourd from Malaysia, and durian from Malaysia village.

Durian in fruit shops usually goes from 30 yuan to 35 yuan. Personally, I prefer to eat Maoshanwang durian, especially in winter. So why is durian so expensive? There are five main reasons.

Large investment+long cycle

Durian trees need as long as six or seven years from planting to fruiting. During these six or seven years, we should take good care of it, water it and fertilize it. If we catch up with natural disasters at the same time, we will fall short. The growth period is long and the investment is large, so the price of durian is relatively high.

High fruit dropping rate

At the initial stage of fruit setting, a durian tree can grow hundreds of durians. However, in the later stage, in order to ensure durian to absorb nutrients, durian trees grow normally. Because of climate, natural disasters and survival of the fittest, artificial fruit thinning was carried out. Finally, about 70 or 80 mature durians can safely spend the long growing period. So the yield of durian is actually not that high.

Expensive labor

Durian trees are generally twenty or thirty meters high, so picking durian is a high-risk operation. Few young people like this job, so the cost is higher. When picking durian, it is also very dangerous for a person to throw it from the tree and pick it up with his bare hands under the tree.

High transportation cost

Durian ripens seven or eight days after picking the tree. It will take seven or eight days to transport it from the planting site to the distribution sites. Whether by air or by sea, the cost is very high. Plus customs duty, the transportation cost from the port to each city after arriving in China. All these add up to a very high cost.

High nutritional value

Durian is hot, can promote blood circulation and dispel cold, and relieve dysmenorrhea, especially suitable for women with dysmenorrhea. Moreover, durian can also improve the symptoms of abdominal cold and promote the rise of body temperature, which is an ideal tonic for people with cold constitution.

So the nutritional value of durian is extremely high. Regular consumption can strengthen the body, strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, tonify the kidney and strengthen yang, and warm the body. According to the official, the high price is normal because of its rich nutrition.
