After a group of inspectors from China visited various farms in the region to evaluate their good agricultural practices, the Davao Region Department of Agriculture is optimistic that the Chinese market will soon welcome the local Puyat durian variety.
Davao Region Director Abel James Monteagudo said the visit of the General Administration Customs of the People’s Republic of China in August would pave way for local durian growers to further expand their market: “We are Number One in the country in terms of durian production, and we are optimistic to be given a chance to export in the Chinese market.” Ha added that, considering China’s sizable market, an almost unlimited supply of Puyat durians could be in demand.
“We will just have to wait for their decision, and we hope and pray that we passed their standards. We can export our Puyat variety in their country next year,” he added.
