Vietnamese officials have completed negotiations on quarantine. Now, everyone is waiting for a license on the official export of durian to China. This will help Vietnamese durian have sustainable consumption, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD).
China is still the largest export market of Vietnamese durian, but this fruit product is mainly exported to China via border gates. Vietnam has not yet been permitted to officially export durian fruit to the market.
According to MARD, to give a license on official export for fruit to China, a mandatory requirement is that it must be from growing areas and packaging facilities granted codes by the ministry. Those codes are approved by the General Administration of Customs of China. China is no longer an easy market. To promote sustainable agricultural product exports, the domestic agriculture sector needs to change the method of production and export transaction, and promote quality control for fruit, including durians.
