In Johor, hot weather has boosted coconut sales, but the increase is not as significant as it once was, as coconuts are now more easily accessible to Singaporeans, according to local sellers. One vendor, Tie Kian, recalled that in the past, he could sell up to 400 coconuts in particularly hot weather, now selling around 100 daily. Another seller, Choong Qi Hui, noted that sales have risen by about 10%, a far cry from past figures. Despite the haze, coconut supplies have remained steady so far.
