webfact Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 by Paul Rujopakarn BANGKOK (NNT) - Thai durians have been gaining in popularity among Chinese consumers in recent years, with exports of the fruit now four times what they were in 2017. Citing reports from China’s official Xinhua news agency, Thailand’s Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives said demand continues to climb despite rising prices and shipment delays due to China’s “Zero COVID” Policy. Alongkorn Ponlaboot, advisor to the Agriculture and Cooperatives Minister, noted that the Kradum Thong, Kan Yao, and Puang Manee durian strains have also been gaining traction not far behind the immensely popular Mom Thong strain.
