Demand for Thai durian rising in China despite new Covid-19 wave


BANGKOK (The Nation/Asia News Network): Demand for Thai durian in China is still strong, an exporter said on Friday (Dec 30) dismissing rumours that orders had dropped due to a spike in Covid-19 infections in the mainland.

“The price and orders of durian are not dropping as some have speculated,” said Thanes Sangthaworn, general manager at Chumphon’s Morakot Central Fruit Market.
