KUALA LUMPUR – Durian Capital Berhad, a homegrown modern agriculture management company, has announced the launch of its Durian Capital Investment Scheme on November 11. This makes it Malaysia’s first durian investment scheme to be licensed under the SSM Interest Scheme Act 2016.
The company shared its goals of providing investors an accessible entry into the lucrative landscape of agricultural investment.
Global demand for durians is projected to remain robust in the near-term, with an estimated global market size of US$18.72 billion in 2019 and expected to reach US$30 billion by 2025. Much of this growth will be driven by strong market demand in China, where the fruit has only recently gained traction.
Thus far, an approximate of 1% of the Chinese population has consumed durians. Current trends in this region are already showing a projected 1.11kg consumption per capita by 2030.
In 2019, durians actually replaced cherries as the top fruit category imported by China in terms of value. Malaysia’s Musang King variety is expected to continue being the premier durian product in terms of customer preference as it becomes more accessible in key international markets.
To meet this surging international demand, Durian Capital has dedicated 200 acres to the Durian Capital Investment Scheme for investors looking to participate and invest in the growth of the Musang King market.
The Company boasts an expert agriculture team with decades of combined experience and latest best practices in durian cultivation, supported by technical advisors from Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) covering areas such as crop science and plant protection.
To optimise the growth and yield of the Musang King produce, the Company leverages modern agri-technologies such as smart irrigation systems, drone surveillance, data analytics, and a proprietary soil nutrition regime.
Durian Capital’s technology not only optimises yield of musang king produce, but it also delivers secure, reliable investing via an easy-to-use platform on its website, both on desktop and mobile.
Investors can start investing with a minimum amount of RM10,000 per unit.
