Ok, it has been about 2 months since i have taken over the land. So far so good. Made my first income from durian for raya weekend. Total made about 1000. Not too bad.

My orchard is mostly d24 & kampung. There are 10 musang king, but only 1 beared fruit. Based on wholesale price of 6-6.50/kg for d24, and 1.80 for kampung, one can't really make much money selling wholesale. Especially if you are doing organic. Most of your fruits won't look good and it fetches the same price as non organic.

Solution? Sell direct. Tried it first time last night, sold for rm9/kg direct, which is 30% higher. Will have to jack up higher price later. I will also do durian buffet for those who wanna visit & eat at my orchard. What price should I charge? Buffet of organic durian but without musang king, is rm50 fair price?

Some of my kampung durian are really good and special with thick flesh. They are all really old & big trees.

I really think investing in durian would work. Planting more musang king is a must as its price is triple of d24.

For anyone who are interested in organic durian feast, please book with me via pm. You may camp there as well, you can see many fireflies at night.

Due to very good price of durian this season, land prices have soared. It is now 200k/acre to begin with. For anything that is roadside where a BMW can drive to, it is around 300k/acre.

Demand for durian was quite steady & not enough. I believe it is very doable judging from my 3 months experience as a durian orchard owner.

Came with the land. D24s are already more than 10 years old. Only the MSW are new. Some MSW 5-6 years old, so already bearing fruit. There is one very old Durian Kampung tree and according to owner, it is the highest income generator. It bears 500+ fruit per season and he can sell them at RM1-1.50/kg during early season. For your info, Bentong/Raub durians normally produce 2 fruiting season per year. Some of the trees already starting to flower again! But then again, like I said earlier, to make income from it will be hoping for too much. As long can cover maintenance cost, it is good enough. Objective was for my playground but who knows, later plans may yield some income.

Paid about 50K/acre. Freehold but no stream. A clear river runs just 50m from the land. It is also equipped with water pump and generator. Entire 5 acres is alreay laid with water piping. So, I save quite a lot of work and it is very well taken care of. The owner worked his entire life on the land and now getting too old to continue. Was actually sad to see him sell the land. His wife told me he cannot sleep every night. Dunno true or not but if it was me, I would feel the same.

Actually, there are lots of land for sale around the area. Just need time to look round and nego for a affordable price. I believe there is no real market price. It comes down to whether you like the piece or not and if it is well taken care of. At times, it may be cheap but will take a fortune to clear and start-up.

All said and done, the land will only be mine in 3-4 month time smile.gif. Going through legal process now.

Cheers,

What do you intend to do with the land? Check whether the river rises when it rains. My river could rise 5' up during a heavy rain!

I would suggest to buy existing orchard land. Don't try to plant yourself, as it is time consuming and you will not have income for at least 5 years.

Many of my trees died this year due to drought and inexperience. It is not easy, it is also not tough, just need to be committed.

Hard to come by these days to find an existing orchard land. even those who offered their land, all is either steep land or with many rocks and boulders.

If you can come further north, you will have more options. It takes time and commitment to find your land. It took me almost 10 years to finally find one and made the decision to buy. Land is also getting more expensive these days.

Talked to several farmers, mainly durian farmers, all agreed that durian farmers are the easiest compared to others. You only need to pick the fruits up, no need to climb to harvest, when to harvest... I still don't know when to harvest Nangka, bananas, etc.... LOL

If you have 10acres land with good species, to make turnover of 1-2Million per annum is not a problem.  thumbup.gif

Hi lainux,

Good to see that your dream for durian orchard finally come true. Would like to know how is your business getting on recently? I am also looking for potential small scale orchard business. =)
