In July 2025 alone, the turnover reached 350-400 million USD, bringing the total value for 7 months to 1.2 billion USD. In the first quarter, exports were less than 100 million USD per month, but from May onwards, they accelerated significantly and maintained a breakthrough momentum.

The decisive factor is strict quality control, meeting the requirements of the Chinese market. In addition, frozen durian products are increasingly asserting their competitive advantages, opening up great opportunities in China and Northeast Asian countries.
