Durian farmers face pressure due to drought conditions.

Quick Summary:

Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives Thamanat Prompow has ordered officials to provide assistance to durian farmers in the East, as the prolonged drought and scorching heat threaten to spoil their valuable crops right before the harvest season.

Some others have had to buy water to irrigate their farms.

The mon thong durian, the most popular variety, will be ready for harvest from May 20 onwards.
