    Malaysian media reported that China can import more Southeast Asian fruits at a lower cost through the RCEP Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, and China's successful domestic cultivation of durians has also raised concerns in
    the Malaysian durian industry.
     
    Customs statistics show that in 2021, China's fresh durian imports increased by 42.
    7% year-on-year to 821,600 tons, and imports increased by 82.
    4% year-on-year to US$4.
    205 billion
    .
    It is expected that with the implementation of RCEP, China's durian imports will continue to rise, and durian import prices will also decrease
    .
     
    This year, the news of the successful cultivation of durian in China's Hainan Province has also made the Malaysian durian industry worry
    .
    Whether China will continue to import durian from Southeast Asia, and what should be done
    if overproduction occurs.
     
    Wong Kah Meng, international sales manager at Hernan Company, a Malaysian exporter of frozen durian, said domestic durian cultivation in China was still in its early stages
    .
    Even if it is successfully produced through variety improvement, Thailand will be even more
    affected.
    The King of Musang durian, which Chinese consumers love, can only be produced in Malaysia, so Malaysia has an advantage
    in durian branding.
     
    China is Hernan's largest export market, with 60% of the company's durian exported to China
    .
    Last year's exports totaled RM50 million, or about RM77.
    385 million
    .
