Hanoi: The General Administration of Customs of China (GACC) has updated its records to include 829 growing area codes and 131 packing facility codes for Vietnamese durian, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment’s Plant Production and Protection Department. The department underlined that this is a positive development for Vietnamese durian, especially in the context of declining export turnover compared to the same period last year.
According to Vietnam News Agency, in the first four months of 2025, Vietnam’s durian exports to China reached only about 130 million USD, equivalent to 35,000 tonnes. This represents a sharp decline compared to over 500 million USD during the same period in 2024.
