Introduction
China has become the largest importer of Vietnamese durian, marking a major milestone in Vietnam’s agricultural trade history.
Since the signing of the official export protocol between Vietnam and China in 2022, Vietnamese durian has rapidly gained market share, competing head-to-head with Thailand’s long-established brands.

Fresh, aromatic Ri6 and Monthong varieties

Compliance with China’s traceability and plant quarantine standards
Why Chinese Consumers Love Vietnamese Durian
