It is native to Southeast Asia, ranging from Peninsular Malaysia and Peninsular Thailand to Sumatra, Borneo, Java, Sulawesi, and the Maluku Islands. Cempedak is an important crop in Malaysia and is also popularly cultivated in southern Thailand and parts of Indonesia, and has the potential to be utilized in other areas.
