Chiang, a frequent visitor to China, has witnessed firsthand the transformative effect of the Chinese market. "From 2017 to 2023, over 70 percent of Malaysia's durian exports went to China," he said. With the entry of fresh durians, not only has their export value risen, but processing, packaging, and logistics sectors in Malaysia have also developed rapidly.
The implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership has further streamlined cross-border trade. For a highly perishable product like durian, faster customs clearance means better quality and higher value, Chiang added.
