The General Administration of Customs of China has announced that it has officially approved the import of fresh durian from Malaysia into China, which meets seven strict requirements. This decision marks a new level of cooperation between China and Malaysia in the field of agricultural trade, and is expected to bring huge business opportunities to Malaysian durian producers.

It is understood that the General Administration of Customs of China has carefully reviewed the entire process of durian cultivation, processing, packaging, storage, and shipping in Malaysia, and believes that it meets relevant Chinese standards and requirements. Therefore, it has decided to open the market. This move not only recognizes the quality of Malaysian durian, but also reflects the deepening of economic and trade relations between the two countries.

Malaysia's Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Mohamad Sab, stated that China has strong demand for durians, and the Malaysian side will actively negotiate with durian farmers to help them export fresh durians to China. He emphasized that in addition to top durian varieties such as Cat Mountain King and Black Thorn, high-quality durians from rural Malaysia will also have the opportunity to enter the Chinese market.

Malaysian durian industry welcomes this news. In an interview, Ye Qiudi, President of the Peng Heng Fruit Farmers Association, stated that after China approves the import of fresh durian from Malaysia, the fastest way for businesses toFresh durians will be shipped to China starting from August.

However, some experts also remind that although there is strong demand in the Chinese market, Malaysian durian operators still need to pay attention to quality control and market strategies. While ensuring the quality of durian, it is also necessary to pay attention to the demand and changes in the Chinese market, and develop targeted market strategies to ensure the best-selling durian in the Chinese market.
