According to the news on September 7, after the Inspection of China's market access, fresh Durian from the Philippines is expected to enter the Chinese market as soon as the end of this year. When approved, the Philippines will become the third country to export fresh durian to China.
If Philippine durian can successfully enter the Chinese market, for the Philippines, it is actually the realization of the "wish" that it promised to enter the Chinese market as early as 2016.

As the world's largest importer of durian, China imported 822,000 tons of durian in 2021 alone, worth $4.21 billion, an increase of 82.4% compared to 2020. Moreover, the chinese consumer's love for durian has not decreased, the market demand is still increasing, and the import volume in the first half of this year has increased by 60% year-on-year.
Despite the enthusiasm of Chinese consumers for durian, for various reasons, China currently only allows the import of fresh durian from Thailand and Vietnam.
Before 2019, nearly 70% of Vietnam's durian was exported to China, which brought huge profits to Vietnam. However, the follow-up was stopped by China for a period of time due to some problems with Vietnamese durian, and a large number of Vietnamese durians were slow to sell, and the number of exports to China was greatly reduced, and the losses were heavy.

Vietnamese durian was stopped, missing a competitor, which is a good thing for Thailand. According to data from the General Administration of Customs, as high as 90% of China's durian imports from Thailand in 2021, according to this good development momentum, Thai media reported on June 20 that it is expected that The export of durian from Thailand to China this year is expected to exceed 500,000 tons.
However, because Vietnam has had a tragic experience of a large number of durians being slow to sell because they cannot be exported to China, and turning to exports to the United States but the returns are dismal, it has constantly adjusted with the mentality of "holding fast to the Chinese market and not relaxing". According to the latest news on September 9, after inspection, durians from 51 planting areas have been approved for re-export to China.

The Philippines has a vast area and large production, making it a strong competitor for Thailand and Vietnam. As for how to maintain their share of the Chinese durian market in the future, it depends on the "efforts" of various countries.
