M7 Valley is a public company limited by shares incorporated on 29th December 2017. It was established with a focus on agriculture, specifically the cultivation of D197 variety of durian known as “Raja Kunyit” which is deemed as the origin of “Musang King” on large scale farms as its primary business focus and other tropical fruits.
The company views huge business potential in durian plantation and is developing projects under the name “Durian Valley” in the state of Kelantan, Malaysia, and Kelantan is 300 km by road from Kuala Lumpur City. The state of Kelantan is widely accepted as the origin of Raja Kunyit which this variety of durian was registered in 1993 and originated from Kelantan. Today, this location continues to be the most conducive area for the cultivation of this variety of durians, in terms of soil composition, topography and climatic conditions.
M7 Valley’s business strategy is to develop Durian Valley into a model for modern plantation, employing sustainable and technology-driven systems such as the deployment of smart farming systems, systematic irrigation, and live CCTV monitoring to monitor and grow the trees cost-efficiently. More importantly, these modern systems are designed to create a nurturing and conducive environment for the trees to produce high-quality durian fruits consistently. The company has a plantation site planted trees in Kuala Krai (Sungai Durian), Kelantan with a land size of 2200 acres and continue securing suitable land (> 1000 acres) for further development. The planted trees are expected to be harvested in the year 2024/2025.
Throughout the years, M7 Valley has created a sustainable operational management team. M7 Valley established Agro-Tech partnerships with leading research universities to further the prospects of modern, sustainable farming. Durian Valley has engagement with Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) to conduct research and development on soil, nutrients, fertilizers, planting techniques and materials to achieve optimum cultivation for the durian plantation. M7 Valley durian trees, durian seedlings and pineapples in the nursery were certified by the Department of Agriculture, Putrajaya in March 2021. This provides an assurance that the durian trees planted are healthy and genuine.
