IN almost all the cities and towns of Sarawak over the last couple of months there has been an oversupply of fruits ranging from durians to rambutans, langsat, mangosteen and bananas. Prices have dropped to their lowest and there are even special offers of all-you-can-eat durian sessions.
Naturally, this is not to the farmers’ advantage, as agents simply pay the lowest prices for the fruits, which otherwise would rot. Unfortunately, this scenario is common in Sarawak yearly due mainly to the lack of marketing, transportation and repackaging/reselling opportunities.
