RAINS AFFECT SALAK TASTE: A buyer picks out salak (snake fruit)

RAINS AFFECT SALAK TASTE: A buyer picks out salak (snake fruit) at a traditional market in Kalianyar village in Kapas subdistrict, Bojonegoro, East Java. Salak Bojonegoro, locally known as Salak Wedi, must closely compete with Salak Pondo from Yogyakarta in terms of its prices. Salak Wedi was sold only at Rp 2,500 per 10 pieces on Monday, a 100 percent decrease from last year's harvest, due to heavy rainfalls that have been hitting Bojonegoro recently.
