The Department of Agriculture in Thailand is implementing strict controls on the import and export of durians, in accordance with the Plant Quarantine Act B.E. 2507 (1964) and its amendments, under the guidance of Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives, Mananya Thaiset. This step is aimed at maintaining quality and preventing the devaluation of Thai durians. Recently, a batch of 4,050 boxes of frozen durian from a cold storage in Pathum Thani province was found to be contaminated with insect remains and failed a phytosanitary certificate inspection, leading to a suspension of exports from that cold storage.
