Not a sweet year for ‘harumanis’


Go on green: Harumanis mangoes are harvested only once a year and still appear green when ripe.

KANGAR: Demand for the harumanis mango is perpetually high, but farmers in Perlis are expecting fewer fruits this year.

Farmer and entrepreneur Mohd Nasir Salim, 32, said the unpredictable weather during the flowering season last month caused farmers to expect a smaller harvest this time around.
