According to Thai media, China is an important market for Thai fruit exports. In 2022, Thailand ranked first among Chinese fruit importing countries. The total fruit exports to China reached 2.17 million tons, worth 4.91 billion US dollars (about 169.26683 billion baht), an increase of 5.95%.

In the first quarter of 2023, the total value of Thailand's fruit exports to China was approximately US$691.91 million (approximately 23.40078 billion baht), an increase of 82.35%.

Among them, durian, which has the title of "King of Fruits", is widely loved by Chinese consumers. Thailand accounts for as high as 95% of China's total durian imports. In 2022, the total value of Thailand's durian exports was 110.14422 billion baht, of which 106.03847 billion baht came from China.

It is reported that it is currently the Thai fruit season, and it is estimated that at least 6,780,000 tons of Thai fruits will enter the market this year.

At the same time, Thailand plans to export at least 700,000 tons of durian to China this year.

Director of the Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP) of the Ministry of Commerce of Thailand, Pu Shi, revealed that in order to promote the entry of Thai fruits into the Chinese market, the Department of Trade Promotion of Thailand in China organizes the "Thai Fruit Golden Month" activities in various parts of China every year.

This year, the event has been held in Hangzhou and Qingdao, and will be held in Shanghai, Guanlian, and Nanning in May. At the same time, Internet celebrities will be invited to promote Thai fruits.

It is understood that March to June is the golden period for Thai durians to be exported to China. Although Vietnam and the Philippines are also exporting durians to China, based on the love of Chinese consumers for Thai durians, Thai durians still account for the largest share of the Chinese market.
