GEORGE TOWN: Aspiring durian exporters here need to exercise patience as their applications for approved permits (APs) to send fresh durian to China will only be audited by the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC) in September.
Penang agrotechnology, food security and cooperative development committee chairman Fahmi Zainol said industry players are still hopeful that the application process would be expedited.
