Cashflow of RAMBUTAN

Rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum) among popular fruit crop inn Malaysia as monocrop or mixed crop by smallholders. Total area of rambutan area in Malaysia was 25,460 hectare with annual production of 82,740 metric ton. Rambutan was a seasonal fruit and receive a low price during peak production season as low as less than RM 0.30 per kilogram. Rambutan largely grown in Daerah Selama Perak (846 ha), Daerah Kuala Krai Kelantan (654 ha) and Daerah Dungun Terengganu (473 ha). There are so many rambutan clones in Malaysia from sour to sweet variety. From my study shown that the popular clones was Clone R134 (Rambutan Singapore), Clone R 156 (Gading Muar), Clone R 179 (Deli Cheng), Clone R 191 (Anak Sekolah ) and Clone R 193 (Deli Baling). Most rambutan used as fresh fruit and only few percentages processed or canned. This article discuss about rambutan cashflow in 2010 based on my study at Johor, Melaka, Selangor and Perak recently.
