The Thai Durian industry is seeing serious competition in the Chinese market from neighboring countries, such as Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, according to the Thai Durian Institute.

 

A 2020 trade report, by the World Trade Organization Study Centre at the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce,shows Thailand was the largest Durian exporter in 2020, shipping 620,900 tons, or an approximately 80% market share. That share is, however, expected to drop to around 57% by 2025, with Malaysia gaining the most.

 

Thailand has been increasing Durian production over the past 10 years, especially in the northeastern region, which has seen a five-fold production increase since 2011.

A price war is always good for the consumer.

I think the total market for Durian has potential for expansion as I have not seen them for sale in NZ and I suspect the same may be so in other countries.

Thai durian is available in most asian supermarkets in Auckland. Usually frozen, comes both whole and in pre-packed segments.

Occasionally fresh whole durian makes it way here along with Thai mango and Thai mangosteen.

Our local is Fresh and Save Manukau 

Last supply was $50.00 per 500g punnet, Thai mango around $9.00-10.00 ea.

The frozen durian can be anywhere between $18.00 - $25.00 kg (whole) and around $12.00 for a small pack of segmented fruit.

Yes except this is the export market so when Thais can't sell their fruit overseas they will double the price they sell for locally to recoup their losses
