KOTA KINABALU: Borneo’s exotic "Durian Merah" has the potential to become a new popular food product in the country and also be developed into an agro-tourism product, says Kuamut assemblyman Datuk Masiung Banah (pic below).

He said the state Agriculture Department should carry out further study on this nutritious tropical exotic fruit for its health and nutritional benefits, as well as use new technologies to develop high-quality seeds that could make it commercially viable.
