Despite Covid-19, China's love for Malaysian durian still strong

KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Malaysian durian continue to be a hit in China, driven by strong demand and consumption there for the “King of Fruits”.

Commercial Counsellor at the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Malaysia, Shi Ziming, said the interest from Chinese consumers for the fruit has not waned although the supply chain for Malaysian durian was affected early 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with demand quickly picking up once the pandemic in the republic was successfully controlled.
