Weather conditions over coming weeks could affect quality, supply of durians

Durian harvests from some regions are expected to arrive at the end of this month, with supply likely to be lower than last year's bumper crop. But sellers say weather conditions in the coming weeks could affect both fruit quality and harvest volumes. Meanwhile, some Singapore firms are using new freezing technology to extend the durian season way beyond harvest. One start-up uses electromagnetic fields during the freezing process, while other sellers continue to stockpile seasonal harvests for use in desserts and food products. Caitlin Ng and Ivy Chok report.
