M7 Plantation Bhd, a private company established last year, is developing a 10,000-acre durian estate in Gua Musang, home to the Musang King in the eastern state of Kelantan, and is selling durian trees for 5,000 ringgit each.

去年成立的私营公司M7种植公司正在东部吉兰丹州话望生的“猫山王”榴莲原产地开发一个占地1万英亩（约合4047公顷）的榴莲种植园，并以每棵5000林吉特（约合8292元人民币）的价格出售榴莲树。

“We founded the company because we see potential in the industry, the primary target being China,” Chief Executive Ng Lee Chin said, adding that most of her buyers were from China.

该公司首席执行官吴丽珍（音）说：“我们成立这家公司是因为我们看到了这个产业的潜力，我们的首要目标就是中国。”她补充说，大多数买家都来自中国。

农业“黄金”

“Planting durians is not just a hobby today as durians are considered as ‘gold’ in the agriculture industry,” the agriculture department said in e-mailed comments to Reuters.

马来西亚农业部在发给路透社的一封邮件中评论说：“如今种植榴莲已不仅仅是一种爱好，因为榴莲被视为农业的‘黄金’。”

Even Malaysia’s prime minister, Mahathir Mohamad, has seized upon it. “I feel it is time that we produce durians on a large-scale and systematic manner,” he has said.
