Durians flooding Banda Aceh

BANDA ACEH, Aceh: Tens of thousands of durians from the west and south coasts have been flooding traditional markets in Banda Aceh.

Durian sellers said that the abundance of durians had resulted in a significant price drop.

"A big, quality durian now costs Rp 8,000, Rp 7,000 cheaper than they were before. A small durian now costs only between Rp 3,000 and Rp 4,000, or Rp 2,000 cheaper than before."

Almost all of the city's corners are occupied by durian sellers, making the capital of the restive province more lively, especially at night.
