Durians grown in Chumphon in Thailand’s South, are at risk of being banned for export to China as they are sometimes infested with worms, the Thai Fresh Fruit Traders & Export Association said on Monday. Association president Sanchai Puranachaisiri said the situation is worrisome as China has imposed measures to return durians with worms to Thailand. He fears that China will ban imports of durians from the South if the issue persists.
The government should launch measures to deal with the issue as farmers believe that it is none of their business if durians are sent back due to worms, he said.
