Now two Chanee-relative s, Arancillo and Puyat, dominate the Filipino market.

Durian (Durio zibethinus) is the most highly prized fruit in Southeast Asia. Revered for its exquisite flavour and taste by most Asians but is abhorred by most Westerners because of its strong and unusually overpowering, repugnant odour (Boosting Durian Productivity).

Conventional farming has been around for more than 100 centuries, and it is one of the most prosperous industries in the world. Organic farming on the other hand dates back to the 20th century. Sir Albert Howard is considered by many to be the pioneer of the organic movement (Heckman). Although some concepts of organic farming date back before Sir Albert Howard’s work, in 1943 he published the book An Agricultural Testament (Heckman). In his book he described ideas that would become the fundamentals of organic farming. His main concept was known as “The Law of Return”, it suggested that all organic waste be recycled back to farmland (Heckman).

For example, rather than using chemical weedkillers, organic farmers may conduct more sophisticated crop rotations and spread mulch or manure to keep weeds at bay.…
