China has cut off some Vietnamese durian imports

Quick Summary:

China suspended imports of Vietnamese durians from 33 sources this month, in a move suggesting some growers may have cut corners to quickly enter its vast, competitive market - and providing an opening for a slew of eager competitors to step in.

The influx of Vietnamese durians has been cited as a cause of falling prices in China, where the fruits command enough cachet to be gifted at special occasions such as weddings.

In the first five months of 2024, Thailand shipped US$2.2 billion worth of durians to China, a year-on-year drop of 2.5% according to Chinese customs data.
