==Agriculture== Nonthaburi province is renowned for growing the best [[durian]]s in the country. Durian has been a well-known fruit in this province for 400 years.<ref name="Year of the Durian">{{cite web|last1=Gasik|first1=Lindsay|title=The Most Expensive Durian In The World; Nonthaburi, Thailand|url=http://www.yearofthedurian.com/2014/07/the-most-expensive-durian-in-world_8.html#.VgljCsuqqkp|access-date=7 October 2015|website=Year of the Durian}}</ref> The fruit is known as "Durian Non" which means durian from Nonthaburi province.<ref name="stop">[http://www.stou.ac.th/study/projects/training/culture/durieannonthaburi.htm] สำนักบรรณสารสนเทส มสธ. ทุเรียนนนท์ ฝ่ายอุทยานการศึกษา สำนักการศึกษาต่อเนื่อง มหาวิทยาลัยสุโขทัยธรรมาธิราช (Accessed on 9 September 2015)</ref> It is also known as the most expensive durian in the world.<ref name="Year of the Durian" /> There are six groups of Nonthaburi durian which are Kop, Luang, Kan Yao, Kampan, Thong Yoi, and miscellaneous.<ref name="stop" /> Most durian orchards are near rivers such as the Chao Phraya. This is because the soil next to the river is good for planting which is also good for durian trees.<ref name="Year of the Durian" /> Many durian orchards have disappeared due to flooding and pollution.<ref name="stop" /> The price of durian Non depends on its group. Kan Yao is the most expensive, starting from around 10,000 baht up to 20,000 baht (or about US$600) for one durian. The Kan Yao itself is not easy to find in normal markets. The main reason for the high price is because it is rare. The recent flood in 2011 cleared out almost all of the durian trees in Nonthaburi, and only a few trees have been newly planted.<ref name="Year of the Durian" /> Also, residential areas are expanding into agricultural areas.<ref name="stop" />
