The Philippines will export to China $260 million or P14.3 billion worth of fresh durian, also known as the “king of fruits.”
The two countries signed earlier the “Protocol of the Phytosanitary Requirements for Export of Fresh Durians from the Philippines to China” that would allow the entry of 50,000 metric tons of fresh durian into the Chinese market.
One of the focal points of discussions was China’s importation of durian, said Agriculture Senior Undersecretary Domingo Panganiban. “We are pinpointed as one of the sources that China would like to from and they have allocated $260 million initially to start off the project with the Philippines,” Panganiban said.
Regional executive directors are tasked to identify potential areas for expansion and formulate plans to sustain the country’s export of durian.
