TO achieve the goal of initiating durian exports to China, the world’s largest durian buyer, Myanmar will seek registration with the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC), according to the Department of Agriculture.
At present, Myanmar’s durian market mainly relies on domestic consumption; however, it is planned to start exporting to foreign markets on a large scale. To access the world’s top durian consumer, the department is seeking GACC registration for direct exports to China.
In Myanmar, durians are mainly grown in Mon State, Taninthayi Region, Kayin State and Bago Region, and some durian farms have been established on a trial basis in Yangon Region and Ayeyawady Region. Durians are produced in vast quantities in May, June and July. With their durian production, Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam have led the durian market, and Myanmar has now increased production and explored new potential markets.
