FARMERS of unbranded durians have been urged to register their fruits with the Agriculture Department so that they can be graded and sold as premium products.

Penang health, agriculture and agro-based industry and rural development committee chairman Dr Norlela Ariffin said branding the fruits would help the farmers increase their income and offer the public more varieties when buying the King of Fruits.
