This is how I can tell you how difficult it is for some people to collect their durians form the MENUA (land) when there is no road and no bridge in Limbang (Sarawak)...
A family . father and mother taking two kids out on a Sunday to teach them about their social and economic roles....They have to cross the swift flowing river to get to their durian and fruit farm, where their old longhouse stood. They had moved to the other side because the people had wanted to use the road instead of the river as time has changed.
This is how durians are carried from the farm to the longhouse and then by car to Limbang town. In the past, the bus helped farmers like him transport the fruits, at a high cost.
The durians have to be cleaned before being sold as they are covered in soft mud after having falling from the trees. The best durians are the fallen ones.
Some of the durian- producers sit by the roadside to sell their durians in Limbang.
Try not to bargeain with the durian- producer- sellers. They have come a long way to bring durians to you.
