China’s durian output to quadruple in 2024, processing poised to permeate with demand ‘on a rapid rise’
Chinese-produced durian is set to be available to the public in July, with production from the tropical island of Hainan likely to quadruple to 200 tonnes this year
Thailand and Vietnam, though, are set to remain the largest sources of the popular pungent fruit, with demand from China ‘on a rapid rise’

China expects to quadruple home-grown durian output this year as demand for the pungent fruit has shown no signs of abating, while its two top suppliers - Thailand and Vietnam - are aiming to consolidate their market dominance and tap further into the burgeoning industrial chain.
Domestically grown durians were introduced last year from the tropical island of Hainan- the only Chinese province with a climate to nurture the tropical fruit – but typhoons have kept output to 50 tonnes (110,000 pounds). That would account for only about 0.005 per cent of all the durian eaten in China last year.
Chinese-produced durians are likely to be available to the public in July, with production likely to reach 200 tonnes by the end of the year, Feng Xuejie, director of the Institute of Tropical Fruit Trees at the Hainan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said on Monday.
The thorn-covered “king of fruits” has persistently enjoyed popularity both from price-conscious consumers and the middle class, who are looking for high quality. Prices range from 70 yuan (US$9.7) up to 200 yuan per fruit without the rind.

Thai government anticipates durian demand from China could “potentially increase by fifteenfold in the future”, while it has set a goal for export revenues to reach 1 trillion baht (US$27 billion) in 2024.
“We are seeing an outperformance of what we call the ‘eat, drink, and play’ theme in terms of consumption patterns [in China], where households are spending more on [food and beverage] and entertainment this year,” said Lynn Song, chief economist for Greater China at ING.
“Higher quality durian imports will likely find a receptive audience, with various dessert and drink products using higher quality durians in recent years.”

Vietnamese durian shipments to China reached 45 million kilograms (99 million pounds) in the first quarter, compared to 27.3 million kilograms from Thailand.
Vietnam received permission from China in 2022 to begin shipping fresh durians, allowing shipments to soar to 493 million kilograms last year.
The strong demand has pushed some farmers away from lower-value staples that generate less income, while local governments back durian production due to the increased tax revenues, said Nguyen Thanh Trung, a political scientist at Fulbright University Vietnam.

The Thai government’s focus on quality makes sense because its durians are already relatively competitive on quality and price, said Thitinan Pongsudhirak, executive director with the Institute of Security and International Studies at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok.
“Durian sales are fast becoming Thailand’s major source of export earnings,” he said.
“As China is the biggest buyer with a huge market, durian exports ultimately boost Thai-Chinese trade ties and economic partnerships.”

He said Malaysia has submitted the protocol for the exports to China in August and the republic has responded positively.
Chan said to ensure optimal taste and quality, Malaysia would have to export only mature and ripe fruits, which could be a transportation and sales challenge as they would have a shorter shelf life.
As such, he said the export protocol must address the short shelf life.
According to Chan, Malaysia recorded an output of 455,458 tonnes of durians last year, achieving 108.9 per cent self-sufficiency.
He said 10 per cent of the overall durian production is currently exported as frozen durians to China, Hong Kong and Singapore.
Malaysia has been exporting frozen durian products to China since 2011 and frozen whole durians since May 2019.
Durian Manufacturer Association president Eric Chan told The Star that discussions are ongoing with the Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute on the methods of exporting fresh durians to China, which included air cargo and shipping.
He said the proposed packaging options will allow the freshness of the durians to be maintained for a minimum of seven days and up to a maximum of 21 days.
He also said the increase in durian harvest in recent years has made the fruit cheaper, even during the off-season.
As example, he said the price of the much-in-demand Musang King variety can be bought for between RM40 and RM60 per kg, which is almost half of what it used to cost.
Pahang Agriculture and Ecotourism Association secretary Vance Chiang told The Star that Malaysian export durians will have to undergo custom clearance and a four-hour flight to Nanning to be available for sales in China within 48 hours from the point it was collected from the farms.
"That’s why we prefer a pre-sale approach to ensure that the fruit, once transported to China, can be consumed by the buyer at the earliest opportunity,” he was quoted as saying.
He said if Chinese retailers were to pre-order 500 durians, they will be able to ship it over on the next day.
He said once the export protocol between Malaysia and China is finalised, they will be able to plan out the whole export process to prepare for the next durian season which is normally from April to May.
Chiang proposed that the Malaysian Agriculture and Food Security Ministry set up a dedicated durian department to oversee the export of fresh durians.
He also said the ministry should create a unique Malaysian durian logo so that the Malaysian Musang King can be differentiated from those from Thailand and Vietnam.

China has issued several warnings about cadmium contamination in Vietnamese durian, but the latest alert is more pressing, the Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association admitted.
The first related to six shipments in May and June 2023 and the second to 23 others between November 2023 and January 2024, it said.
In 2023 China imported 493,000 tons of durian for US$2.1 billion from Vietnam, 1,107% and 1,036% up in volume and value terms from the previous year.
Vietnam has 708 durian farming areas and 168 packaging facilities that comply with China’s import quality standards.
