During the visit of President Bongbong Marcos to China, both countries signed the “Protocol of the Phytosanitary Requirements for Export of Fresh Durians from the Philippines to China,” which opens a huge market for Philippine durian growers.
Durian is called “The King of Tropical Fruits” because of its big crown-like thorns. It is a tree that bears big edible fruits with a mildly sweet flavor and is popularly known for its pungent odor. In the Philippines, Davao is the top producer of durian.
During the forum, the Davao durian farmers shared that the fruit was usually sold for P10 pesos per kilo. Now, there will be an opportunity for them to sell their product at a more profitable price. For the farmers to qualify, they need to get a PhilGAP certification from the Bureau of Plant Industry . They will have to be accredited to have their own farm code. Farm codes are important in the traceability requirement.
