Davao City—Durian officially became one of this city’s top fruit exports after local growers sent 28 tons of the fruit on a chartered cargo flight to Beijing, China last April 6.
The first shipment was rushed on a Holy Thursday after the General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China , the headquarters of China Customs, confirmed Beijing’s approval to receive the durian from the Philippines after a series of farm inspection here and business-to-business negotiations since December last year.
Before durian, the Davao Region is known for its banana exports to Japan, South Korea, the Middle East and China.
