China tightens standards: Durian exports drop by 3%

According to the Bangkok Post, Thailand’s fresh durian exports to China fell by about 3% year-on-year in the first half of 2025. This was mainly due to unfavorable weather conditions, which delayed harvesting by nearly 20 days. In addition, the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC) has imposed stricter quality control requirements.

Exporters now have to demonstrate that they meet criteria such as packhouse registration, Global GAP certification, chemical residue testing, and a host of other stringent food safety standards. This process is not only lengthy but also adds costs, making it difficult for many small businesses to maintain orders.

However, large companies like Platinum Fruits have maintained stable export operations by investing in quality control processes. They require soil, water, insect and mold testing at ISO-certified laboratories before packaging, and build a transparent supply chain from farm to consumer.

“Competition today is no longer just about price or volume, but about trust in food quality and safety,” Mr. Natakrit Eamskul, CEO of Platinum Fruits, emphasized at the Asia Fruit Logistica Bangkok Meet Up event.

Lessons from Thailand: Collaboration is the Key to Success in the Chinese Market

In Vietnam, domestic durian prices remain much lower than they were at the same time last year, when exports to China peaked. One of the main reasons for the lack of price increases this season is China’s increasingly stringent requirements. Many growing areas in the Central Highlands and the Mekong Delta have yet to meet GAP standards for raw materials and documentation, as well as traceability.

The durian growing area in Vietnam has exceeded 178,000 hectares, a five-fold increase compared to 2015, with an output of more than 1.5 million tons. However, without an effective quality control strategy, many regions may fall into a situation of “substandard goods – unable to export – having to sell off domestically.”

Lessons from Thailand show that coordination between businesses, farmers and regulators in controlling residues and ensuring traceability is a prerequisite to maintaining a position in a large market like China.
