Vietnamese durian fruit exports have seen significant growth, particularly to China, which accounts for 97% of total output, following a four-year negotiation period. The Chinese market alone has a turnover of nearly 2 billion USD. Exports to the Czech Republic have also increased. Initially, only 51 growing areas and 25 packaging facilities met Chinese Customs agency standards, but Vietnamese agencies and businesses have since improved production processes. Vietnam's total durian area is 112,000 hectares, producing about 840,000 tons.
