Philippine President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has signed agreements with China to open the Chinese market to Philippine agricultural products, including durian from Davao. Durian is a crucial agricultural product in the Philippines, with Davao producing over 50,000 tons annually. Other fruits like coconuts and bananas also have potential for growth in the Chinese market. In 2021, China's durian imports from Thailand reached $4 billion, showing strong consumption growth.
