MB: Perak among top durian-producing states in 2024

A cultural icon: Saarani (centre) serving customers who bought durians during an auction while attending the closing ceremony of the 2025 Perak State Durian Fest at Dataran Selama. LARUT: Perak has emerged as one of the leading durian-produ­cing states in Malaysia, with a ­production volume of 59,217.3 tonnes worth RM462.28mil in 2024. Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad said the achievement contributed to the country's agri-food economy and pro­ved Perak's capability in the durian export market. He said durians produced in Perak were exported to more than 40 countries between 2017 and 2023, with 73% of the export value concentrated in China. 'In 2022, Malaysia's durian export value reached RM1.14bil, including RM887mil to China, yet demand for varieties such as the Musang King, Black Thorn, D24, IOI and premium durian kampung from Perak continues to rise. 'In addition, Topone Solution Sdn Bhd (TSSB) has successfully exported 30 containers of durians worth RM20mil in 2024, including five containers of durian kampung worth RM1mil, as well as 100 tonnes of durian kampung paste worth RM5.25mil,' he said, Bernama reported. Saarani said this at the closing ceremony of the 2025 Perak state-level Durian Fest at Dataran Selama, near here, yesterday. He said Malaysia began expor­ting fresh durians to China on Aug 24, 2024, involving 413.61 tonnes (RM24.84mil), following the phytosanitary agreement between the two countries after official approval was obtained in June last year. 'Since then, Malaysian durians have penetrated 16 key provinces in China and received an overwhelming response as a premium exotic product, with the durian kampung from Perak also gaining global recognition. 'Malaysia's durian export value is expected to reach RM1.8bil by 2030, with an annual growth rate of between 20% and 25%, driven by advancements in logistics, frozen supply chain technology and downstream product innovation,' he said. Saarani added that the current focus is on widening access to premium durian kampung from Perak through branding strategies, quality certification and digital marketing. 'Durians from Perak are also in demand from Singapore, Hong Kong, the United States and Australia, with the price of durian kampung from Malaysia reaching RM29 per 600g, while the Musang King is sold for up to RM400 per 2.5kg. 'There are even local entrepreneurs who are aggressively introducing durian-based products like durian chocolates, durian coffee, durian cakes, instant tempo­yak sambal and durian ice cream that are also being marketed to China,' he said.

MOTAC To Host International Workshop On Melaka Declaration On Cultural Heritage Value Creation

GENERAL MELAKA, July 20 (Bernama) -- The Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry (MOTAC) will host an International Workshop on the Melaka Declaration on Cultural Heritage Value Creation from July 23 to 24 at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) World Heritage City of Melaka. The ministry's Corporate Communication Unit said the two-day workshop will be jointly organised with the ASEAN Secretariat and strategic partners, Think City and Telekom Malaysia Berhad. 'The workshop is a step forward in harnessing the untapped power of Southeast Asia's rich cultural heritage as a catalyst for sustainable economic growth, social cohesion and creative innovation. 'This international gathering will bring together over 100 distinguished participants including cultural experts, academics, creative economy leaders, representatives from ASEAN Member States, SOMCA (Senior Officials' Meeting on Culture and Arts) and stakeholders to explore transformative approaches in heritage conservation and value creation,' the ministry said in a statement tonight, adding that panel discussions, breakout dialogues and plenary sessions would be held throughout the workshop. Discussions on maximising the socio-economic potential of ASEAN's cultural heritage by elevating its value chain for economic growth, strengthening regional cooperation through whole-of-ASEAN frameworks and cross-pillar collaboration will also be held during the workshop. The event is expected to promote public awareness and community engagement in heritage preservation, and integrate culture and heritage into sustainable development policies to ensure inclusive growth and social cohesion. 'The Melaka Declaration, as the main outcome of the workshop, will contribute to the development of a significant ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC) outcome document, targeted to be adopted at the 47th ASEAN Summit in October 2025 in Kuala Lumpur. 'It aims to strengthen cultural cooperation, expand inclusive economic opportunities and promote a deeper appreciation of ASEAN's shared heritage,' the ministry added. — BERNAMA

Malaysia-Thailand Border Area Boat Race Can Spur local Economy

PASIR MAS, July 20 (Bernama) -- The proposal to organise a boat race competition between Malaysia and Thailand at Sungai Golok is not only expected to revive a traditional sport shared by both countries, but also serve as a catalyst for economic and tourism growth in the border area. Kelantan Tourism, Culture, Arts and Heritage Committee chairman Datuk Kamaruddin Md Nor said the initiative has the potential to provide benefits to small traders, homestay operators and tourism services providers around Pasir Mas and areas bordering Sungai Golok. "We feel that events like this can revive the local economy because travellers will come not just to watch the boat race, but also to sample the traditional food, stay in local hotels or homestays and purchase handicrafts,' he told reporters while attending the trial boat race at Sungai Golok (Malaysian side) here today. He added that the proposed location (for the boat race) - the Pohon Jambu base - is already known as a focal point for Malaysian and Thai communities, and its selection is expected to have a direct impact on the economic activities of nearby residents. "This place is beautiful and suitable for such an event because the river is not too wide and already has basic facilities. We also receive good cooperation from the Sungai Golok authorities,' he said. He added that discussions would be held to organise it on a larger scale by involving more teams from Kelantan and Thailand's Narathiwat province, so that it can be turned into an annual affair. Besides the main competition, a unique event being planned is a blindfolded boat race, which could add value and attract more visitors from both countries. This year's trial race, held over two days on July 19 and 20, features 40 teams, including five from Malaysia, attracting an estimated 1,000 spectators. Such events not only help preserve cultural heritage, but also play a significant role in revitalising the local economy, which relies heavily on tourism activities in the border area.
