  • Malaysia hopes to boost its exports of premium tropical fruits by cross-breeding high-quality strains. The golden rock melon is the iconic fruit of the state of Terengganu. It can fetch a market price of about 10 US dollars each. Another hybrid - the 'nangchem' that hails from Selangor's fruit valley - is fast gaining popularity. In the northern state of Perlis, the aromatic 'harum manis' is now the most expensive mango variety in the country. It is regarded as among the finest in Southeast Asia, if not globally. With the promise of lucrative returns from their efforts, a new generation of young farmers has been inspired to venture into the agricultural sector.

    i think harum manis is the hardest. it only grows in perlis and only some specific locations. it only available in 1 short season. ive been to harum manis plantations before sorry to say the way the local farmers taking care and nurturing the plantations is very meticulous and not easy. some of the farmers facing alot of problems from trespassers too. some will destroy the plantations due to personal grudges and envy. yet the perlis farmers still keep going pushing their harum manis plantations. big respect..

      Everything has a premium. Marketing also makes it premium but you cannot dispute that an iPhone or Samsung is still premium handphones compared to others. Toilets in malls on certain floors which require a fee are also premium. Whether or not the price, justifies the experience, depends on the user.
      A Musang King is premium. A durian kampung is not. But it doesn't mean that a durian kampung doesn't taste good.
      Try a Korean/Japanese muscat and an ordinary grape. You'll know immediately what the differences are. Again, whether the price justifies the experience, varies for every one.
