Vietnamese durian exporters tighten quality controls

In Viet Nam, durian exporters are radically tightening quality and safety controls to meet stricter regulations from major buyers like China. Besides, a national agricultural traceability system is being piloted to build a centralized database for the entire supply chain, utilizing electronic labels to track fruit from the orchard to packing facilities.

To avoid the risks associated with fresh fruit spoilage and strict cross-border inspections, businesses are heavily investing in modern processing lines and cold storage for frozen durian exports. While China remains the dominant buyer, standardizing production allows Viet Nam to target other high-value markets, such as Japan, South Korea, and the EU.
