The challenges in small-scale farming are major issues impeding market growth. There are some prominent challenges, like the need for a supportive environment to boost consumer demand for durian fruit. Due to their high perishability, durian fruit is susceptible to food loss and waste. Farmers must be integrated with reliable value chains and food systems in urban areas and cities in order to meet the demand for durian fruits. This is necessary to guarantee that freshly harvested produce is kept cool, handled with care and speed, and delivered to markets without any deterioration in its quality.
Additionally, since fruits and vegetables are frequently consumed raw, extra care must be taken to ensure food safety by lowering the risk of contamination with insects, diseases, and foodborne pathogens, as well as chemicals (pesticides and mycotoxins). These markets, which are regulated and where durian fruits are traded, ensure maximum safety.
