They will be harvested and ready for sale in the middle of this month. Chaiyo said the reason he started producing durian was because the weather in Bueng Kan was similar to the weather in the southern province of Nakhon Si Thammarat where he had previously rented a plot of land to grow durian trees.

Chaiyo is expecting to make 20,000 baht in profit from selling the sought-after fruit. Around 100 farmers in Beung Khong Long district alone, now grow durian trees. It is expected that Beung Kan will be abl...
