PETALING JAYA: Hernan Corporation Sdn Bhd, a leading player in Malaysia’s durian export industry, has made a significant leap forward by exporting 12 tonnes of fresh durian to China in a landmark move for the company and the nation’s agricultural sector.

This milestone was part of Malaysia’s maiden shipment of fresh durian to China, which took place on Aug 24 – two months after signing the Protocol on Phytosanitary Requirements for the Export of Fresh Durian from Malaysia to China.
