When Beijing opened its doors to fresh durian from Vietnam in September, Bob Wang jumped at the opportunity. The fruit importer in southern China has since secured deals with Vietnamese durian farms that boast a total plantation area of about 3,000ha, and he is ordering as much as they can provide.
When Beijing opened its doors to fresh durian from Vietnam in September, Bob Wang jumped at the opportunity.
Durian has quickly become the most popular imported fruit in China. Despite highly restrictive import controls during the pandemic, China imported about four times as much durian in 2022 compared with 2017, bringing the total value to more than US$4 billion. One Chinese fruit retailer explained that “Thai durians are expensive, but they’re tastier and plumper, while Vietnamese durians are being quickly welcomed because of their cheaper prices”.Related:The growing market potential for durian in China has pushed cities in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, which borders Vietnam, to beef up logistics to facilitate imports from its neighbour.
The access enhancements will allow Vietnamese durians to reach all parts of China within one to three days, according to local officials and traders who expect durian consumption to further rise as a result. It usually takes just one or two hours to complete the entry formalities and place the fruit on cold-chain trucks that can then reach supermarkets across the country in less than three days, Huang added.
Dongxing Port is connected with Mong Cai in Vietnam by two bridges that cross the Beilun River, located on the border.
