The_King Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 THE Thai Ministry of Commerce said the high demand from China for durians had actually saved Thai durian farmers from suffering the sluggish economy due to the Covid-19 outbreak. Chinese appetite for Thai durians remains strong despite the pandemic and weak global demand for goods, said the ministry. The ministry’s latest figures indicated that Thailand exported US$567.29mil (RM2.4 trillion) worth of durians to China in the first four months of 2020, up 78% year-on-year. In 2019, Thailand exported 1.46 billion U.S. dollars’ worth of durians to overseas markets, a rise of 54.6% from the previous year, with China and Aesan nations accounting for 98% of export volume. “Before the Covid-19 crisis, Chinese merchants already visited the Thai durian farms and have placed direct orders before the start of the annual harvest season,” Auramon Supthaweethum, director-general of the Ministry’s Trade Negotiations Department, told Xinhua. Auramon estimated that 2020 will see total durian production in Thailand at 900,000 tonnes, with 85% of them exported. — Xinhua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
