A durian expert is spearheading efforts to turn Penang orchards into tourist attractions. The initiative aims to protect the reputation of the fruit, a major Malaysian export, by combining orchard visits with digital technology.
Led by the Penang Fruit... (details from source text not available), the project uses tech to verify fruit authenticity and quality. This approach helps prevent fraud and educates visitors about the region's durian heritage.
For travellers, this means new opportunities for agritourism in Penang, offering guided orchard tours where they can learn about durian cultivation and taste certified fruit. However, specific itineraries or dates are not confirmed yet.
