According to reports, intelligence revealed that someone was secretly mixing Vietnamese durian into Thai durian exports. Rayong provincial representative Pongsathorn led an investigation team to raid a rubber wood warehouse in Klaeng district. Investigators discovered two container trucks in the warehouse, one loaded with reportedly Vietnamese peeled durian, and the other an empty truck prepared to head to Laem Chabang Port. A Chinese representative identified as the cargo owner could not present any import or transportation documents, claiming the documents were detained at a factory in Chanthaburi Province. Police subsequently confirmed that on the night of May 22, three containers were found, with two containing peeled frozen durian that were sealed, and the third container empty and unsealed. A driver initially reluctant to cooperate eventually admitted that a Laem Chabang boss instructed him to load durian into the empty container. It is believed this was done to avoid Chinese customs' detection of chemical residues, especially cadmium, in Vietnamese durian. China's strict inspections have limited Vietnamese durian exports and caused prices to drop. This has prompted some speculators to mix Vietnamese durian with Thai durian in an attempt to bypass inspections while improving prices. The Rayong provincial representative has formally filed a lawsuit with the local police, who are currently collecting evidence and preparing to prosecute those involved, aiming to protect Thailand's durian reputation in the international market. With Thai durian prices falling and orders from China decreasing, there are concerns that oversupply could impact fruit farmers' livelihoods. Durian growers are calling on the government to take action and crack down on such durian fraud.

Thailand Still Leads Thanks to Railways and Logistics Strengths Considered the "uncrowned king" of the Chinese durian market, Thailand continues to maintain its leading position. In the first 10 months of 2024, Thailand exported 78,000 tons of fresh durian to China, reaching a value of 27.49 billion CNY (equivalent to 93,500 billion VND), accounting for nearly 50% of total import volume. The Agricultural Attaché of Thailand in China revealed at a recent trade promotion event: "In 2024, 60-70% of Thai durian will be exported to China." In mid-May 2025, the volume of durian imports from Thailand via the China-Laos railway line surged, causing a sharp price drop in the Chinese market, as reported by Guangming Daily. This is a major turning point, helping to shorten transportation time and ...

According to the Thai National Business Daily, China still maintains 100% alkaline tender yellow testing for imported durian. The number of durian export processing factories in eastern Thailand has dropped sharply from more than 1,000 last year to less than 300 now. Sources from several durian export processing factories revealed to the National Business Daily that as of early May, there were 807 durian processing factories registered in eastern Thailand, but less than 300 actually purchased durian, while last year the number exceeded 1,000. It is expected that this year, some processing factories will take a wait-and-see attitude and choose not to operate for the time being. It is expected that the export volume of durian in the eastern durian season this year may drop by more than 50%. Many durian processing factories have been suspended from export because of the detection of alkaline tender yellow in the goods, and have suffered heavy losses. 90% of the funds for durian ...
