The Rayong court sentenced a durian orchard owner in Klaeng district to 15 days in prison, without suspension, for the crime of selling unripe durians to a customer.

Vimol Srivichai, owner of a durian orchard, sold 20 durians to Bowdaeng Ratchasing, a visitor from Samut Prakan to his orchard on April 21. The buyer paid 2,000 baht for a combined weight of 80 kilogrammes of the fruit, at 25 baht each.
Mr Bowdaeng cut open the fruit and found that it was unripe so he reported the deception to Klaeng police station. Songtham Chamnan, an official from Agriculture Ministry stationed at Klaeng district office, went to inspect the durians and found that all of them were unripe.
The Rayong court on April 22 sentenced Mr Vimol to prison for 15 days, the first case in Thailand for this type of crime.
Mr Songtham said the case was a good example for durian orchards because selling unripe durians was a deception, a violation of the Consumer Protection Act, for which the penalty included imprisonment and a fine.
Olarn Pitak, director-general of Department of Agricultural Extension, said the department had cooperated with three eastern provinces – Rayong, Chanthaburi and Trat – well-known for their fruit production to ensure that orchard owners sell only ripe fruit.
The department has issued a regulation on orchard practices, as selling unripe fruit would damage the reputation of Thai fruits, especially for export.
However, Mr Olarn said there are some orchardists who refused to follow the regulation so seasonal special teams would be sent out to inspect the quality of the fruit during the harvest season.
The durian is normally harvested in April and May of each year. The fruit is popular with Asia. Thailand exported a total of 367,056 tonnes of fresh durian worth 7.34 billion baht in 2013, according to the Office of Agricultural Economics.

(綜合報道)(星島日報報道)泰國羅勇省一名果農因為出售生榴槤，被控告欺詐罪名，被判監禁十五 天，成為泰 國史上首宗因賣生榴槤入獄個案。榴槤果園主人威蒙（Vimol Srivichai）日前賣出二十顆榴槤共八十公斤，顧客支付了二千銖（約港幣四百八十元）。
這名顧客回家後切開榴槤，發現榴槤根本還沒熟，到警局控告這名果農欺詐。農業部官員前往查 看，發現榴槤 全都是生的。
羅勇省法庭上周二判決威蒙入獄十五天和罰款，指他違反消費者保護法。泰國農業推廣廳已發布 相關法規，要 求果農只能出售已成熟的榴槤，因為賣生榴槤傷害泰國水果形象。每年四、五月是泰國榴槤產季。
