GOOD news for fruit lovers! The local tropical fruit season is now at its peak with favourites like rambutans, mangosteens and cempedaks now abundant. And prices are going as low as they can be compared with prices in the past few years.

Fruit traders and suppliers report low demand, causing orchards to slash prices to clear their produce.
