The Department of Agriculture will expand the country’s production of durian after President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. secured a fruit export deal in China during his state visit earlier this month.
"One of the focal points of the discussion is the durian imports by China all over the world. We are pinpointed as one of the sources that China would like to avail from, and they have allocated $260 million initially to start off the project from the Philippines," said DA Senior Undersecretary Domingo Panganiban.
Panganiban directed the Regional Executive Directors and the Bureau of Plant Industry to immediately identify the potential areas for expansion and formulate the necessary work and financial plans to sustain the durian export.
