Rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum) is a popular fruits under Sapodaceae family and originated from Malaysia are grown for domestic and export market. Total area planted with rambutan in Malaysia are 26,946 hectare in 2011 with an annual production of 86,087 metric tonnes. Sarawak recorded largest durian area with 5,384 hectare followed by Kelantan State (2,253 ha) and Kedah (2,100 ha). Fruiting season of rambutan between Jun to September every year. During peak production season the rambutan fruit was abandoned dried on the tree due to very low price (as low as 1o cents/kg) especially non popular clones.
The most popular rambutan clones in Malaysia are R 156 (Mas Gading - Yellow, round shape, big size, very sweet, firm, crispy and juicy - From my kampong, Muar , johhor), R170 (Deli Cheng - Red skin color, sweet, lekang and thick), R 174 (Gading Merah), R 1991 (Rong Rien or Anak Sekolah - medium fruit size at 56 gm/fruit, oval shape, sweet , medium thickness and popular), R 193 (Deli Baling - Medium size, round, long hair, very sweet, thick skin, medium thickness, longer post harvest interval) and few others. This article talk about rambutan clones registered with DOA since many years ago. The information I gathered from various document and my own reading via visits to DOA agriculture station in various state.
There are 62 rambutan clones registered to Department of Agriculture since 1933. Some of this clones are registered by the owner and the others registered by agriculture officer.
