QUOTE(ahchun @ Aug 24 2017, 01:24 PM) no worry who report also nvm oz they feel the cili is pedas and hard to swallow biz abt demand n supply. sikit sikit nak boikot. You butt hurt people wanna boycott for what? You wanna eat then just go ahead and buy for those who wanna boycott it's their right to do so. Like you said, business is about supply and demand, boycotting is just an act of asking the public to stop the demand. Ain't nothing wrong with it.

QUOTE(Knight_2008 @ Aug 24 2017, 02:20 PM) I hope more people will boycott to reduce demand, and help price come down. But don't think i can join the boycott. durian is too gooding Well it's up to you for me, I think it's time to boycott. Mainly due to 2 reasons: 1. Middle man profiteering kao kao and whacking the price like mad 2. Durian nowadays not as gooding as before, not sure why but quality wise it definitely dropped. Maybe even the farmers are cutting corners for more production.

QUOTE(Knight_2008 @ Aug 24 2017, 06:38 PM) Think because the good quality are being shipped overseas due to the higher prices offered there; so leaving us with the lousier variants. Hmm makes sense QUOTE(ju146 @ Aug 24 2017, 06:49 PM) Blame yourself being poor because China can afford and you can't. As if they can export all the durians to China. If there's that much volume they would have done it a long time ago. There's still no reason for those middle men to sell durians locally at such extorbitant prices la. You can sell some of your stock to China for high prices you should take it as a bonus, not use it as an excuse to sell at higher prices here. It's not like China gonna buy up all the durian stocks anyways. What is sold here are the leftovers that wasn't exported. Yet in Malaysia also they wanna overcharge for the leftovers. Only in Malaysia shit like this happen, other countries also export their local goods at higher prices but locally they still don't mark up the price kao kao.

QUOTE(Knight_2008 @ Aug 25 2017, 11:40 AM) Well, you can choose not to buy - and let them export everything to China. And believe me when i say there are such demand volume for that. If only 1% of china population eat durian, that is also 4x our population. Plus, where got ppl berniaga like that one. Just because I can sell to China at higher price, I should be thankful for extra margin for china sales, and reserve some volume to sell to local cheap prices. It's a bonus ady? Bodo ke apa? If it's me, i will sell everything to the highest bidder. If china offer high price vs local (high enough to offset duty etc), then i will sell everything there. Previously, sales volume to china isn't high cause they impose a quota on us. they only take thailand durians that time. Now it has been lifted. Seems like so many people here don't understand the concept of supply & demand and keep blaming those traders. kek Like I said if they can sell everything to china they would have already done it. Since the quota has been lifted why are they still not exporting everything there? Do bear in mind we're not the only ones exporting durians there. If China has the volume to take up all the durian supply then no one will export to Singapore la. How come still got ppl export to sg?

QUOTE(advocado @ Aug 25 2017, 01:42 PM) because China bulk buyers are very picky they don't want durians lower spec their what they asked for. u think PRC like Malaysians, order riped durians supplier give unripe durians also take? That's my point exactly, not all of the durians from here can be exported there. If can, they would have already done it.

QUOTE(Knight_2008 @ Aug 25 2017, 02:02 PM) Supply and demand bro? you think you playing computer game every country offer one price? To illustrate, say we have 1m supply. China got 3m demand, but out of that only 500k willing to pay 100. Malaysia got 700k demand, but only kick miao 200k willing to pay 100. Then Sg got 300k demand, but all 300k willing to pay 100. So of course, the 1m supply will go to China (500k) Malaysia (200k) and Singapore (300k). Then the value of this supply is 100m (1m x 100). Rather all sell to one country China (500k paying 100, then the remaining 500k pay 80) where total sales value will be 90m. Anyway this is just an illustration to explain. real life wouldn't be so simple. And pendek kata, feel expensive then don't buy. Not willing to pay, then don't eat lo I know, but then why in sg price cheaper than here???? Still not sellers fault? What's happening here is, coz of China 500k demand for 100,they go and tell ppl here China willing to buy 100, if you want cheaper I might as well just sell to China. Even though they know that China won't take the balance lower quality stock.
