Durian has harder skin structure than other fruit because it has thorn and it has special smell that makes the consumer want to buy them. But, the price of Durian is more expensive than another fruit because durian production during the main harvest season is abundant and some of them cannot be absorbed by consumers because of its garden location where is far from the market.
