BANGKOK, June 25 (The Nation Thailand/ANN): Nearly half a million tonnes of durian have been exported to China in the first five months of the year, as the popularity of Thai durian continues to soar among Chinese consumers, helped by the shorter transport route that takes just four days.

Anucha Burapachaisri, deputy secretary-general to the Prime Minister for Political Affair and government spokesperson, said that Thailand had exported over 0.47 million tons of fresh durian during the first five months of 2023. This is due to its continuous popularity among Chinese consumers and the faster transportation route to China.
