Why is durian so expensive? Known as the king of fruit, it has always had a different side, people who like it love it, people who hate it smell the taste of nausea, although the evaluation is polarized, but it does not affect its expensive, the so-called rare is expensive, an ordinary durian hundreds, where is it expensive?
In fact, most of the durians in the mainland market are not planted by themselves, but imported from foreign countries. Is it technical or conditional? According to statistics, the mainland spent 26.8 billion yuan on imported durian in 2021, with an average price of about 16 yuan a catty, and over time, durian has become a fruit that is difficult for ordinary people to consume.
If you know the planting process of durian, you understand why it is so expensive, first of all, the speed of durian tree production is very slow, from the planting of saplings, it takes at least 6 years, if the variety is special, 10 years is not too much, after years of growth, durian trees can grow to more than 40 meters high, and the fruit is more than ten meters in the air, if you want to pick, you need to climb up to pick it, let the people below hold it.
This is a very dangerous job, as we all know, durian has a hard shell, and spikes, during the picking process, it is easy to be dangerous. Secondly, the durian production is low, want to buy the dream lotus, is one in ten thousand probability, a tree long durian is about 70, of course, does not mean that 70 are good, only empty shell is also possible.
And the place where durian grows needs an average temperature of more than 22 degrees Celsius, after all, it is a tropical fruit itself, the temperature is too low, it is easy to freeze to death, in all cities on the mainland, can have this condition, that is, Hainan, Yunnan these two cities, once also cultivated durian, unfortunately, do not know whether it is water and soil reasons or technical errors, taste and taste are not as good as imported durian.
Just as the so-called is not afraid of things difficult, afraid of kung fu deep, if you want to plant and cultivate, no one will dare to challenge, but 6 to 8 years of time, almost no fruit farmers can withstand the temperament, after all, people have to eat, in case the carefully cultivated durian, did not get the expectations, is not a few years of time and energy are wasted? Combined with the above reasons, the mainland can only import durian from foreign countries, what do you think?
