Durian, reported to be on sale in some Chinese cities, were not exported from Thailand, but are substandard produce from elsewhere, according to Alongkorn Polabutr, an advisor to Agriculture Minister Chalermchai Sri-on and a member of Thailand’s Fruit Board.

 

Alongkorn said today (Tuesday) that Chalermchai had immediately ordered the Thai commercial attachés in the Chinese cities of Shanghai, Beijing and Guangdong to investigate a report on social media that some customers had bought durian in Shanghai, at about 1,000 baht per kilogram, and then discovered that they were not Thai durian, because they “tasted different”.

 

He said that the Thai commerce attachés in Shanghai immediately conducted an investigation and discovered that durian are not yet on sale in the shops, but are available from mobile vendors on pickup trucks, which usually make roadside stops to sell durian at night and during weekends, usually on Xinhua Road.
