Durio kutejensis

Durio kutejensis
Durio kutejensis, commonly known as pekawai, is a unique durian species that boasts several
advantages, including thicker, drier-textured flesh and the absence of the pungent aroma typical of
common durians.

In the South Kalimantan region, the genetic potential of this fruit has been proven by the existence of the "mantuala" durian, which is the result of natural hybridization between Durio kutejensis and Durio zibethinus.

Moving forward, this fruit holds great potential for further development through breeding programs and cross-engineering to produce superior new varieties with significantly denser and thicker flesh
