How I retired early by growing durian in thailand

  • Hi guys it's our Second harvest and it's looking good .We have 2 more harvests before we pick it all. Along with the durian we are harvesting our mangosteen everyday . We have 60 mangosteen trees and we estimate about 6 Ton of fruit by the time we are done. mangosteen slowly comes ripe and takes about 8 weeks till it's done.During these 8 weeks we harvest about 50 to 70 kilos per day . Our durian makes us a lot of money and combined with mangosteen makes it possible for me and my wife to live in Thailand and not have to touch our investments .
    once our other two farms start producing next year it's really going to start making a big difference .
    If your looking to retire in Thailand and have a Thai wife you may want to consider a small farm . Empower your thai wife in farming

    Hi, I am an Norwegian man stay full time in Thailand for 2 years now, and wee start our Durian farm this year. I have been a hobby farmer before and I love it. We have now planted about 120 Durian trees, and some mango, lemon and chili. I love to stay in the country side, quiet and no tourists. Durian trees are new to me and my wife, but we learn from you and locals. We try to do 70% organic, and I can see the trees looks very good. hope i can visit your farm some day.

    Terry I noticed that you are cutting fruit as opposed to allowing the fruit to ripen. Is there a difference between the 2 methods of harvesting. I know that in Thailand thiw is the protocol. In Malaysia they allow it to ripen on the tree.

    • @TMDurianfarmer
      @TMDurianfarmer  2 місяці тому

      We also allow it to ripen on the tree before harvesting. The cutters check the fruit for ripens before cutting . In Thailand many don't like it over ripe. When the durian falls off the tree it is over ripe and has a short shelf life .
