DURIAN MARKET IS AGREEING FOR CHINA.
Indonesia has set its places on China’s enormous demand for fruits, with exports of the fragrant fruit valued at almost US$ 7 billion next year.
It thinks this will open the door for other beneficial export markets where more durian lovers can explore the variety of durian varieties.  ,
Parigi Moutong, a state in Central Sulawesi, is well-known for its Monthong fruit.
Monthong fruit were first planted in Thailand, but they are now cultivated extensively in Indonesia and Vietnam.
This citrus variety is huge, typically weighing between 3 and 5 kg. In contrast to most other varieties, it has a thick consistency and a sweet style, and it has thicker body and smaller seeds.
Indonesian Monthong fruits are now available in frozen form in China, but they are now being exported through Thailand.
A strong offer network is now within reach.
According to PT Ammar Durian Indonesia chairman Muhammad Tahir,” If we ship via Thailand, it takes about a quarter to get to China.”
” If we can travel directly from Pantoloan port ( in Palu in Central Sulawesi ) to China, it will only take about a week,” said one traveler.
Tahir added that shipping the fruit immediately to China will cost half as much as moving them through Thailand.  ,
The business shipped 30 pots of fruit next year. When direct routes to China are established, it anticipates expanding exports to 50 vessels.
China has put in place strict export specifications for fruits, requiring Indonesian farmers and suppliers to follow strict standards. To maintain a high level of quality control, these include the Great Agriculture Practices, Great Management Techniques, and Good Manufacturing Practices.  ,
The whole citrus source chain must also be totally identifiable, providing accountability and transparency throughout the export process.
It must be traceable, according to Ahmad Mansuri Alfian, who oversees the Sheep, Fish, and Plant Quarantine Centre in Central Sulawesi.” From the farm, until it has been packed ( and ready to be sent, it must be done.  ,
He continued,” The Indonesian Quarantine Agency has developed a system that will use a barcode.”
Officials can now just scan a barcode to determine whether the item is from a specific packing house or estate using the program.
