Durian Orchard

A durian orchard is a cultivated plantation dedicated to the growth and harvesting of durian trees — the tropical fruit known as the “King of Fruits.” Native to Southeast Asia

Durians are prized for their rich, creamy flesh and strong aroma, with varieties such as Musang King (D197), Black Thorn, D24, and Red Prawn commanding premium prices in local and international markets.

Durian orchards thrive in humid tropical climates with well-drained soil, consistent rainfall, and slightly sloping terrain.

Orchards are typically located away from urban development, in clean, green environments that support organic and sustainable farming practices.

Cultivation & Management

• Durian trees take 4–10 years to mature, depending on whether they’re planted from seed or grafted. A mature tree can produce 50–200 fruits per season
• Durian trees can continue to produce fruit for many years, with yields increasing over time. Peak yields are typically reached between the 20th and 40th year of the tree’s life

Investment & Tourism Potential

Durian orchards have grown in popularity as agricultural investments, offering:

• High ROI from premium varieties like Musang King
• Export potential to China, Singapore, Hong Kong
• Agritourism opportunities (e.g. farm visits, durian tasting events, homestays)

Some orchards are developed into eco-tourism resorts, combining fruit tasting, guided tours, and experiential stays in a natural setting
