According to the Thai Ministry of Agriculture, Thailand has strengthened inspection and certification procedures for durian and mango processing centers to ensure export compliance during the 2026 harvest season, as authorities prepare for a peak in shipments to international markets. The Ministry of Agriculture has increased the requirements for storage facilities involved in export operations. The facilities must follow more stringent inspection and certification steps to ensure that the fruits meet the standards of the importing country before shipment. These measures are part of the routine controls applied to export supply chains handling fresh products. Authorities have emphasized that consistent inspection procedures are essential to maintain product quality and prevent trade disruptions. Exporters are required to complete certification processes before the fruits can be shipped abroad, ensuring reliable market access during the main export season. Durian and mango remain Thailand's primary export fruits, making compliance at processing warehouses crucial during the harvest period. The strengthened inspection controls aim to ensure that shipments meet the phytosanitary and quality requirements set by the destination markets. Source: doa.go.th Photo: wikipedia.org
