KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Durian lovers should not boycott traders who sell durians by weight as the marketing system has changed and proven to be fair, says Federal Agriculture Marketing Authority (Fama) director-general Datuk Ahmad Ishak.

He said the timbang kilo (sell by weight) marketing system is accepted and this has made durian prices – especially from orchards – more competitive.
