Thai durian is a major export to China, driven by high demand, especially for the Monthong variety, facilitated by trade agreements, but faces competition and quality control challenges, leading to increased use of air and rail transport, AI for quality checks, and improved customs cooperation for faster, more efficient delivery to meet demand and maintain market leadership.

Thai durian is one of the country’s most iconic fruits, earning the title "King of Fruits” thanks to the rich, distinctive flavour that sets it apart from other varieties. If you're looking to try durian at its best, it's a seasonal fruit available about six months a year, typically from April to September. 1.April to June - Eastern Thailand produces most of the country's durian, with May being the peak month. 2.July to September - Southern Thailand takes over as the primary durian producing region.
