Durian

Davao City have lost several durian farms in favor of residential developments in recent years, but it remains the top producer of the "king of fruits" as it accounts for 60 percent of the country’s total harvest.

The Davao City Durian Industry Association (DCDIA) said there still remained 2,800 hectares of land planted to durian of the total 16,600 hectares nationwide.

Davao City produces an average of 30 tons of durian, despite recent developments that saw the conversion of durian plantations into residential zones, as well as the negative impact of extreme weather conditions. It is expected that around 48 metric tons during the duration of the Durian Festival and Kadayawan in August and September.
