In this guide
Summary: a durian price means nothing without variety, grade, location, date and channel. The 2026 season market record shows low-grade Musang King prices falling from roughly RM90 to RM9–10/kg in a report summarised by the registry; that is a season event, not a current price or a Black Thorn offer [source]. For the orchard, compute profit from yield and payments actually received.
Durian and Black Thorn prices: which units are you comparing?
| Quotation detail | Example record |
|---|---|
| Variety | Musang King, Black Thorn or kampung — do not mix |
| Grade and condition | State the buyer’s criteria |
| Channel | Farm, wholesale or retail |
| Date and location | Record every observation |
| Net unit | Price per kg or per fruit with stated weight |
The 2026 season data shows prices can fall when supply shifts [source]. So do not use one high price as a yearly assumption.

Durian is explicitly on the NOT-listed side — any “daily price” claim for durian needs another dated source entirely.
What goes into a durian planting cost: how do you count the waiting years?
A general cost frame must separate planting material, maintenance labour, inputs, access, collection, grading, packing and delivery. The tree generates no sales at every early stage; compute spending by year using real records and never assume future harvests are certain.
What does the 2026 event actually prove: volatility, not price?
The crash record exists on this page for one purpose: proving that durian prices can move violently within a single season [source]. It is not a current price, not a forecast of the next season, and not an offer from any buyer. Any page that prints one dated event as if it were “the durian price today” is misusing the record — the honest use is as a risk scenario in your own low-price test.
Which waiting costs must be counted: the years before sales?
A general durian cost frame must count the years the tree generates no sales at all — planting material, maintenance labour, inputs, access, then grading, packing and delivery once harvest starts. Compute spending by year from real records; never book future harvests as certain income [source].
How is durian profit computed: what survives a price fall?
Compute buyer-accepted yield by grade, multiply by the actual price, subtract charges and losses. Then subtract recorded orchard costs. Build a low-price scenario from dated local evidence, not profit promises. The 2026 crash report only reminds you that price risk exists; it is not a forecast of future prices [source].
What makes this page’s evidence limits honest: method over numbers?
No live quotation and no orchard-specific budget is verified here — the comparison method is the deliverable. Bring variety, grade, channel and date to every figure you record, and mark anything unsupported as unknown.

Frequently asked questions
What is the durian price today?
No live quotation exists on this page. Price depends on variety, grade, location, season and channel.
Is the Black Thorn price the same as Musang King?
Do not equate varieties or grades. Ask for dated prices for the same fruit and channel.
How do you compute durian planting profit?
Use actual sales by grade and subtract orchard and marketing costs; do not forecast yield without records.
