MACHANG: The Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority (Fama) has spent RM375,000 for the purchase of about 150 tonnes of the kampung durian variety to prevent a glut and price drop.
Its Kelantan director Wan Nora Wan Ahmad said the agency bought the fruit from 600 durian orchard owners in the districts of Jeli, Tanah Merah, Kuala Krai and Pasir Puteh.
