Ever since the Covid pandemic, the trend to sell products and goods via social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok and others has taken flight. Durian traders have joined this trend, marketing this popular fruit without the intervention of wholesalers or middlemen.
One of these farmers from Wang Gunung, said he chose to market durian online as it was easier to deal with customers directly without depending on wholesalers: “I find it more satisfying to sell the fruits of my hard work as it is more profitable and I could sell them cheaper to customers.” He claimed there was no problem marketing durian during Phase One of the National Recovery Plan (PPN) as the response was good.
