Cambodian Durian: The King of Fruits
Durian, often called the "king of fruits", is a prized fruit in Cambodia, known for its distinctive strong aroma and rich, creamy texture. Key durian-producing provinces include Battambang, Kampot, Pursat, Kampong Cham, Tboung Khmum, Koh Kong, and Ratanakiri. The climate provides ideal conditions for this tropical fruit. The durian harvesting season in Cambodia typically spans from April to July, making it a popular fruit during the country's summer months.
Cambodian durians are renowned for their sweet, less pungent flavor compared to varieties from other countries, making them highly sought after in international markets. The industry supports numerous smallholder farmers and plays a vital role in rural economic development.
