Durian quality inspection teams dispatched to check fruit markets 

By Thai PBS

 

 

The Ministry of Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives has set up special teams to inspect quality of durians in its effort to prevent traders from selling unripe durians to customers.

 

The ministry’s movement came as the country is now entering the fruit season and there is growing demand for durians in the local market as well as overseas market, particularly from China on online sale via Alibaba’s e-commerce website Tmall.com.

 

The operation is also in response to speculation that durian price will be doubled this year due to decreasing yields as a result of summer storms that wreaked havoc to many durian plantations in the country.
