KUANTAN: Royal Pahang Durian Resources PKPP Sdn Bhd claims that a group of durian traders, processors and farmers representing the local Raub durian farmers without legal status has expressed support for its legalisation scheme.

The company said the group, led by Datuk Lye Wee Ken, who is also the Pahang Durian Traders Association chairman, remarked that the terms and conditions offered to the farmers were fair and reasonable."Whilst the scheme involves Royal Pahang Durian Group purchasing all of the farmers' durians, there is an agreement to allocate 40% of the produce to be bought back by the community of local traders or processors for their own trading," the company said in a statement Monday .

"RPDG has also agreed that the entire durian collection and grading shall be handled by a group of local agents, also to be led by Lye and his consortium of local associates. The company urged the remaining farmers without legal status to come forward and register their farms with Royal Pahang Durian Resources PKPP Sdn Bhd before the deadline of Aug 18.

They also wanted a judicial review on the state government's decision to award a lease and rights to use 2,167.9ha of land in Raub to Royal Pahang Durian Resources PKPP Sdn Bhd for a period of 30 plus 30 years as well as the mandatory requirement that they sell their durians to an entity nominated by the joint venture company.
