DAVAO CITY – The country sent on Thursday its first export of fresh durian to Beijing, China with a volume of 18 metric tons.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. signed on January 3 a bilateral agreement with China allowing the exportation of fresh durian.“We are sending an initial box to our market partners in Beijing commencing what promises to be a thriving industry in the trade of fresh durian in the country’s vigorous and ever-growing market for fresh fruit,” Bacayo said.

Marila L.
