The Cambodian Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has initiated the registration process for durian plantations and processing factories seeking to export to China. The move comes after the signing of a protocol for durian exports, adding the fruit to the list of Cambodian produce already exported to China, which includes bananas, mangoes, longans, coconuts, pineapples, and jackfruits. Durian is primarily grown in Cambodia's provinces of Battambang, Kampot, Pursat, Kampong Cham, and parts of Khmum and Ratanakkiri. Despite not yet receiving official approval, durians have been exported to China via Thailand and Vietnam.
