According to EastFruit analysts, China in 2022, for the first time in many years, reduced the volume of durian imports by 5%. This indicates problems in the country's economy and a likely decrease in the income level of the population, since durian is one of the trendy and expensive fruits for the Chinese, on which they spend billions of US dollars annually. In the first 11 months of 2022, durian imports to China amounted to 767,000 tons, 42,000 tons less than a year earlier for the same period. In fact, the global market for durian is driven almost exclusively by supplies to China. In 2021, China spent more than $4 billion importing fresh durian into the country. In terms of imports in terms of value, durian has been and remains number 1 among fruits imported to China, ahead of even the no less trendy and also quite expensive cherries.
