Duku Terengganu is considered among the best breed in Malaysia. Traditionally, they are planted in the villages along the Terengganu river. The flood water brings large amount of silts to riverine villages. These silts supplied nutrients to the soil. Duku tree thrives well in the village vicinity where not much disturbance at its base and its surrounding.

| Sample of good , sweet duku. |
Duku fruit is light yellow in colour and round in shape. Its size is around 1.5 inches in diameter. You can get tons of duku fruits from a tree. Those days, people who owned duku trees are richer when the season comes. Lorries came in to bring the duku out from their orchards. They exported the duku to other regions as the demand was high.
Now duku is everywhere. When the season comes, the orchards are full of duku. If there is a glut., the price falls. You can buy duku fruits in the market with RM3 per kilo or less. Happy travelling.
