It is an industry with a turnover of billions of USD but exports durian Fresh durian is facing many difficulties due to tightening regulations from China. Although it is the main season, exports have only reached 20% of the yearly plan. In this context, China's official import of frozen durian opens up new opportunities for Vietnamese businesses.
In recent days, Hong Sang Fruit Company has continuously received orders for frozen durian to China. Notably, the partner does not limit the quantity. Specifically, the enterprise can supply as much as the partner can, the partner will import the entire output. The unit hopes to have a breakthrough in durian revenue in the near future.
"Preparing goods according to the required Chinese procedures, from testing to selecting goods, the freezing process ensures food safety so that we can export to their market. This market has a lot of potential," said Ms. Tran Thi Yen Nhu - Director of Hong Sang Fruit Company.
In some key raw material areas, durian is in its main season, so the purchase price is low and it is easy to meet freezing standards such as sweetness and fat content. In particular, the frozen durian processing process helps to easily and proactively remove banned substances and preserve them for a long time, so this industry is expecting to create a boost to redistribute the export market share to China, moving towards increasing turnover in the near future.
Mr. Vo Tan Loi - Chairman of the Durian Association of Tien Giang province - commented: "China still quarantines frozen durian like fresh fruit. However, when peeling and pre-processing the segments, the level of safety and accuracy is much higher than testing the whole fruit."
According to Mr. Dang Phuc Nguyen - General Secretary of the Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association, every year China consumes about 1 billion USD worth of frozen durian, in which Indonesia and Thailand share the market equally. "If Vietnam does well, it can share 1/3 of this 'pie'," he said.
In fact, the export value of frozen durian is currently many times higher than that of fresh durian. Specifically, frozen Dona durian is being sold at around VND215,000/kg, while fresh durian is only around VND65,000/kg. This has prompted many businesses to invest heavily in cold storage, growing area codes, and processing lines to boost processing from segment separation to whole fruit freezing.
With timely changes and great market potential, the Vietnamese durian industry expects to make a breakthrough in revenue and export market share this season.
