Vietnamese durian merchants see "excellent opportunities" in China

"Vietnam Daily Daily News" website September 20, original topic: Vietnamese durian exporters discover opportunities in China and face competition

On the 17th, in Du Le Province, Vietnam, a truck loaded with the first batch of fresh durians exported to China based on the official quota was driven out.

For the first time, Vietnam exported fresh durian to China in accordance with the official quota. Despite competition from Thailand and Malaysia, Vietnam's exports may grow in the future.

Over the years, Vietnamese durian has been exported to China through unofficial trade channels. A few days ago, the Chinese government department approved 51 coded durian plantations and 25 packaging companies exported to China. He Duzhong, owner of the Vietnamese durian brand "9 PHE", said: "For Vietnamese durian, it is an excellent opportunity to be allowed to export official quotas. The amount will be greater. "

Customs data shows that last year, China imported a total of 8.216 million tons of fresh durian, with a total value of 4.2 billion US dollars, which is the largest fruit category of imports. "Japan Economic Shimbun" predicts that after a 82%growth rate last year, China's fresh durian imports this year are expected to continue to grow. Vietnamese customs data show that in the first half of this year, Vietnam's total exports of fresh durian exceeded 84 million US dollars, an increase of more than 90%over the same period last year. Among them, the total amount of fresh durians exported to China reached 2.86 million US dollars, an increase of 123%over the same period last year. China is the largest export market in Vietnam's fruits and vegetables.

However, local business people said that in order to stand in the Chinese market, Vietnamese durian still needs to overcome many obstacles. An expert said that if the durian transportation time is 3 to 4 days, Vietnam's current fresh processing technology can still maintain the quality of durian, but if it is long -distance sea transport, it will not work. As China's requirements in plant quarantine and food safety and sanitation are becoming stricter and stricter, product quality becomes crucial.

Relevant companies said that creating a high -quality durian brand is equally important for Vietnam in order to compete with Thailand and Malaysia. Thailand's "Bangkok Post" said that as Laos, Cambodia and the Philippines are also aiming at the Chinese market, competition will become more and more intense in the future. In addition, Chinese companies are trying to plant durian in Yunnan, Hainan, Guangxi and other places. Despite several failures, this effort has not yet been given up. (Author dy tung)
