Rubber farmers in Beung Khong Long district, Beung Kan province, have been able to supplement their incomes by growing durians.
The rubber farmers have now begun picking durians from the trees as they begin to ripen. One durian plantation owner, Chaiyo Sisaeng, said his durian trees produced more durians this year. 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.
After returning to his hometown in Bueng Kan, he decided to grow some on his land where there are now 125 durian trees. Forty of them have produced durians this year. 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 able to produce more durians in the near future to cater to rising demand in the province and beyond.
