Perak one of Malaysia's top durian-producing states, says Saarani
LARUT: Perak 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. Sgtate Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad said this contributed to the country's agri-food economy and proved Perak's capability in the durian export market. Saarani said Perak durians were exported to over 41 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 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 when officiating the closing ceremony of the 2025 Perak state-level Durian Fest at Dataran Selama, near here on Sunday (July 20). 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 2024. "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. He 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 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-creams that are also being marketed to China," he said. – Bernama

'The Destination' Shines A Light On Saudi Arabia's New Image As It Moves Toward A Global Future
KUALA LUMPUR, July 20 (Bernama) -- Saudi Arabia has launched a new documentary titled "The Destination", showcasing the country's sweeping transformation under its Vision 2030 programme, spanning the political, economic, sports, and cultural sectors. Produced by the Konoz Initiative under the Saudi Arabia Ministry of Media, the documentary goes beyond chronicling achievements. It offers a visual narrative of how Saudi Arabia—long associated with a conservative image—is now emerging as a competitive and modern global destination. In a statement issued on Sunday, Konoz said the film features mega projects, local talent development, and a cultural innovation boom, delivering a clear message: the Arab world is on the move, and Saudi Arabia is leading the way. bootstrap slideshow "The documentary presents stunning visuals from across Saudi Arabia—from deserts to smart cities—telling the story of a nation's rise, now seen as a new benchmark in the modern Islamic world," the statement said. According to Konoz, the documentary will be broadcast on Shahid, STC TV, Saudi national television, and the official platforms of the Saudi Ministry of Media. Prominent figures featured in the film include Chairman of the King Faisal Centre for Research and Islamic Studies, Prince Turki Al-Faisal; Saudi Minister of Sports, Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al Saud; Ministerial Advisor Mazen Al-Sudairi; CEO of the Diriyah Gate Development Authority, Jerry Inzerillo; and Head of Cardiac Surgery at King Faisal Specialist Hospital, Dr Firas Khalil. Meanwhile, Konoz said that for Malaysia, "The Destination" raises fundamental questions about how to construct an inclusive national visual narrative—one that reflects the nation's values and transformative changes, while speaking to the world in its own language. 'Saudi Arabia's aspirations in developing local content reflect a strategic vision aligned with Malaysia's efforts to build a sustainable and borderless media industry,' the statement added. Konoz also noted that cooperation between Malaysia and Saudi Arabia in this area could be expanded, particularly in co-productions, media training, and expertise exchange in telling stories of social transformation.
