Durian Ultra Modern Factory of the Future in MALAYSIA
hello and welcome to a new day a new durian farm and a new durian tree right there and with the net to catch all those nice fruit in one place so that they don't fall to the ground and split apart or at least that's what the chinese guy told us from this farm tough shape yeah you're able to see from there yeah usually it's long usually it's long and looks like we already have a baby one today we're gonna walk around this farm we're gonna see how the people process the durian how they mass produce stuff out of it and maybe ice cream maybe mochi you never know all sorts of interesting products made from durian and also exporting them to other countries china for personal consumption in case you don't remember from our previous video which is somewhere here or here uh this is how durian looks like when it's hanging on at sea and because it has a star shape on its buttock here it's called the mossan king or at least that's what i learned the previous episode nice so this one is a musang king durian i think cool and we're gonna see way more today we're gonna try way more today as well and it's gonna be a full day of adventure through this farm of durians looking forward to from what i understood here at the farm they're using this big massive pump which is high tech with bluetooth controlled service operation special special to water the whole area to fertilize it as well and when this pump is not enough which is pulling water by the way from the nearby pond and spraying it throughout the field when this pump is not enough they use manual tractors like this one to spray the fertilizer and water to try to keep the pests away and all the bugs and things away from the durian tree hello i like your machine how many times a day you have to go with the machine through the garden every day every day every morning or every evening or every morning and evening morning and evening oh that's nice and this helps the tree get no bugs and cleaning all the fungus and everything in second part insect and fungus okay good thank you good job you're doing thank you so much nice uh can i ask you a question yeah how many hours does your battery last on this usually we if we continuously use this around two hours around two hours okay so this is battery operated and that one is gasoline okay i like your star wars thing on the remote control thank you okay very nice people and looks like all the people are gathered here and they're trying something fiji what are they trying you were here before me um the guide of the top fruit durian farm is explaining us the new type of durian they are growing here mbur 88 which is a bit different than the other types of durian so he was sailing saying that the retail price is around 50 55 ringgit per kg it can vary up to 80. so is it the most expensive one or the most interesting one um this is what they sell here so what that they produced here not muslim uh they might do that as well but here they have a different they wanted to show us a different kind of okay let's go check it out oh this is a big one okay let's see how the durian tastes like gg from this farm good is it spring oh i have a glove because i learn i can put sharing is good this is the d24 right you're 24. i hate it better than the regular farm what do you think here at the high tech one i don't know i feel more the i like the one we tried in the previous video okay that was really good do you feel the bluetooth tingling in your durian all this technology happening in your food the lawn mower definitely is in this one for

mix of durian power 24 hour yeah uh raw 88 i think this is their own concoction of hybrid durian i think so yeah okay beloved product the orange color like this okay oh you know why because you have to you have to actually knock it huh knock it and then you start fermenting a bit then the colors is different okay okay yeah yeah it's different which one should we try this one or this one now you should try this one out this one okay you'll take a piece of the gigi i will take a piece oh wow it's way softer thing i take a yeah of it as well yeah i'm sorry so this is your own uh farm production

great thank you let's see let's see creamy oh yes very creamy wow what is this citrus flavor so here is where your drone and your all your technology comes into into this kind of hybrid kind of durian to make it even better than the all the other ones that we tried so far this is way better than the first one we tried i'm curious though to try the pieces that i picked see if there's any difference than the one that the guy recommended this is like melon titres the one that i picked but his recommended one is way more better he knows his stuff yeah definitely this is so so tasty so good guys if you ever come in johor try this one yes we came all the way to johor for this so it's worth the effort and it's worth the try okay sure picture time according to the charts on the wall around here there are multiple types of grades of durian grade a grade b grade c depending on the shape size and roundness of the durian and the star on the bottom so interesting maybe your durian that you buy in the market is different than the one that you find somewhere else and you can now identify which great they are i'm here with jackie the founder of masters of malaysian cuisine and we're super happy to have her here with us jackie can you please tell us more about masters of malaysian cuisine uh yeah sure so master's malaysian cuisine was a group that i formed two years ago in 2020 and i wanted to bring together all these malaysian chefs who are active on social media because i kind of felt that like we would be stronger together as a group and all the other thing i wanted was diversity in terms of skill set which is so each of our chefs specialize in different aspects of malaysian cuisine because you've been traveling here for a bit you can see how diverse our food is and the other thing we wanted was people who actually are professionally like working in the industry so they're not just they're not just instagrammers they're not food reviewers they're not food bloggers but they're actually people who make a living from producing food and thirdly we want a geographic spread as well so our chefs are based around the world europe um southeast asia australia and everywhere we're super happy to be here on our first durian farm tour ever here in malaysia for the first time and we're doing this with you how did you think of coming up with this idea to go on a durian tour i was actually approached by the ministry of agriculture and food industries of malaysia a few months ago late last year actually and they wanted to launch a campaign to promote awareness particularly in australia and more broadly around the world on uh what durian is and also other malaysian tropical fruits so they asked for my suggestions and this was one of them the other one is a durian cookbook which we are producing as well so they liked all my ideas and yeah like i said one of them was to take our chefs around malaysia to visit durian farms and learn a little bit more about it and they invited us to do that i think that sounds amazing guys so if you're interested in malaysian cuisine 2 different flavors of the whole like malaysian food i don't know steam you can check out masters of malaysian cuisine we'll give you the links in the description thank you so much jackie for this wonderful experience visiting durian farms and learning how this very precious food is being prepared and made and turned into something that millions of people around the world love and uh thank you for uh letting us make this story happen with these amazing chefs and these amazing people all around malaysia no it's a pleasure to have you we're so glad you get to experience durian and find out what the big fuss is about it so yeah don't forget just uh follow these guys the dodo explorers on their journeys they create amazing content and yeah if you want to learn more about malaysian food just visit us via the links that they're going to pass i'll see you later thank you thank you and now by the miracle of time we have arrived to the factory where they are organizing i think a table for us to tell us a bit about the factory to explain us a bit about this place so i'm curious to find out more about this factory and about what is happening around here and now after talking so much about durian it's time to have durian ice cream and uh we're here at the factory they actually produced this ice cream i think you can find all over malaysia it's called goldtone and it's gelato durian so gelato is sounds very very good already this is the packaging it has a spoon inside and i'm gonna try to open up the the ice cream which is sealed it has some chinese characters on it i'm i'm in front of them factory where they make this small my goodness the the smell is super strong it smells like a durian inside and it looks like this is creamy it smells like dorian and the dish this tastes like musang king creamy it's super creamy soft banana pineapple melon a little bit of an orange it's not that citrusy like an md24 but this is super good michael round five sure on my own i will need help it's good guys durian ice cream i think i like the fruit more than i like the ice cream true but in case you you don't have the fruit available you can buy the ice cream or you cannot find the frozen durian which is i think some of my favorite um you can try this out very good it's very close to the real deal i'm here with benson cool he's one of the managers here at the factory so uh i want to ask you a few questions when did you start this factory okay we start this battery into zero one zero okay until now about 13 years old 13 years old okay and the farm is older like that farm started in 1986 1986 okay and this is until now it's over 30 30 or 30 years old okay so they first had the farm and then you decided to make a factory to mass produce it oh nice and how big is the farm the farm is about 500 across 500 acres 20 over types of durians okay and to me the most important question is why you decide to use technology like drones like robots like special automated pumps in the making of the in the processing of the farm this is actually helps to improve in terms of precision uh farming okay because we're talking move on we need small youngsters and young generation to actually participate okay in our farming industry that's why we are looking at a modern technology which actually can help us to bring more youngsters to come in and join us okay also for actually help to reduce in terms of the uh worker count and then to have more efficiency effectively in terms of uh you know increase the production productivity okay just need people to drive the power pump through the trees and then you get you know all the the spraying okay you know if individual then it will be you need more clothes to go three to three but with the vehicles you actually save a lot of times and more efficiency oh nice so this is a way to include high-tech devices and high-tech i know drones and technology of the future or internet of things into the farming process thank you all right thank you very much no problem thank you you're welcome hey there you have it guys and just like that i'm in the lab coat and i'm ready to explore the factory together with gg here let's go you have 8.6 kg of dorian that means um if you sell the dorian for a price of 660
ringgit you would have around you have right here 100 uh dollars or euro of worth of dorian here in this room the durian comes from that conveyor belt over to the ladies who take the fruit the pulp out of it then it gets put into a bin and it gets wave and after it gets weighed it goes inside the other part of the facility where here they are taking the seeds out they are spreading it into a paste and they are preparing it to ship it outside from this point onward i have to wear this mask because we're actually dealing with food here and it's very easily contaminated and they spend a lot of money to try to pasteurize these products just dumping them in a hot waters that all the microorganisms are dying and i don't want to contaminate their products by me not wearing a mask so i hope you understand what i'm saying i'm trying to speak as loud as possible so you get what i'm saying one very interesting thing i wanted to say to you guys is the fact that we have so many ladies working here and that makes me happy so let's go to the other section shout out to the ladies and therefore everyone working here and uh we're making this fruit available all over the world you see here this nice ladies they are cleaning up the paste they are spreading it out very evenly it will try to see if there's some impurities or imperfections inside the base and then those imperfections and impurities they end up in a big bin and that bin is used for fertilizing the trees so all this process has no waste basically all the waste gets turned into fertilizers and it's a circle continuous circle of growing your durian as i was telling you this is the whole process of pasteurizing the product where they are dunking it in hot water and this is all the this way all the bad things bacteria micro microorganisms like so so feels like in my country in romania i can feel my nostrils getting frozen interesting minus 20 degrees in malaysia it's possible don't get locked here come on here guys in the mega freezer you can have up to 40 shipments of durian and that means around 40 000 tons of durian can be stored inside this mega freezer at minus 35 degrees for everyone around the world very good durian tour over guys yes durian tour is over in the most um high tech high tech farm factory futuristic farm factory that you can find here in george in johor and one of the best ones in the country they tend to be the best one in the country very impressive technology cool yeah they use all sorts of gizmos and gadgets to bring the durian from the tree to your house yes in your desirable form yes the way you want it either frozen or ice cream or mochi or kochi or lochie or everything else so without further ado that being said it's time to go thank you for joining our beautiful tour at the factory and at the farm hope you like this one and don't forget to like share subscribe to the thing that you do to help us make your videos i'm curious to see about your impressions in the comments yes drop them and spread the love bye
