Viet Nam exports first batch of frozen durians to China

These frozen durian products are peeled and then rapidly frozen to -18°C using liquid nitrogen. This method effectively extends the shelf life of the fruit and is especially suitable for long-distance transportation and long-term storage.

China's import of frozen durian has created new opportunities for agricultural trade between the two nations, enriching the variety of farm products imported at the border.

Earlier, in August last year, a Protocol on Inspection, Plant Quarantine, and Food Safety for Frozen Durian Exports from Viet Nam to China was signed.

Viet Nam could earn US$300 million from shipping frozen durian to China on the back of the signed protocol, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment.

A report from the ministry shows that Viet Nam's durian exports to China reached only 35,000 tons worth around US$130 million in the first four months of this year, equivalent to only 20 percent of export targets.

Statistics of the Department of Viet Nam Customs showed in the first four months of 2025, the trade turnover of agricultural, forestry and aquatic products between Viet Nam and China was estimated at US$5.07 billion, up 3.7 percent over the same period in 2024. Of which exports from Viet Nam reached about US$3.62 billion (down 1.1 percent), and imports US$1.45 billion (up 17.6 percent).

To date, the two sides have signed 28 agreements and protocols related to the import and export of agricultural products.

Many products have been officially exported to China, including 15 types of fruit such as watermelon, mangosteen, durian, rambutan, longan, jackfruit, as well as bird's nest, crocodile, farmed monkey, fish meal, milk, seafood, and various livestock feed products./.
