KUALA LUMPUR: Diversified plantation group FGV Holdings Bhd (FGV) has identified 1,398 ha of land that is potentially suitable for the large scale commercial planting of durian, said its group CEO Datuk Haris Fadzilah Hassan.

However, to determine the best areas for durian planting, further investigation into several factors, including the suitability of the soil, terrain and the availability of water sources for irrigation, is necessary.
