2.1 Durian
Thai Durian in China

From the export value and volume of Thai durian in China (Table 4.2), we
may observe the following:

1) Despite of Covid 19 and its negative impacts on international trade,
durian export from Thailand to China reached 779,800 tons and
฿98,322 million in 2021;
2) The success in 2021 is attributed to rising demand in China through
channel deepening, and strict control of quality, such as “eradication of
premature harvest” by the Thai government;
3) The growth rate, about 80% to 100% per year for value in the 4-year
period, is impressive. The relatively lower growth rate for volume
shows the price premium every year;
4) Contrary to the pessimistic views on Chinese ZCP (Zero Covid Policy)
in the early months of 2022, durian export in Thailand quickly recovered
from April to June, when the problem of traffic jam was solved by the
joint efforts of the Thai and Chinese governments, and the Thai
exporters. With a surge in November and December, the accumulated
durian export from Thailand to China in the year 2022 outperformed
that of 2021 (Table 4.3);
5) The growth in the past shows the market acceptance and potential to
absorb the extra capacity. The major challenges remain in terms of
possible future disruption of logistics, quality control of Thailand,

and competition from other ASEAN countries.
