<\/p>\nSource: China News Service via\u00a0Oriental Daily<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Deputy general manager Gao Fenglin said the company will develop the ripe durian market as one of its main businesses.<\/p>\n He also hopes that Hainan can grow more high-quality durians to meet the needs of domestic consumers.<\/p>\n China News Service<\/a>\u00a0reports that the durian conference was the first-ever held in Hainan.<\/p>\n Almost five tons of durians were prepared, including Golden Pillows, Musang King and Kan Yao durians.<\/p>\n Kan Yao is a Thai variety and is reportedly related to Musang King. It has a reputation for being\u00a0one of the most expensive\u00a0in the world, able to be sold for US$48,000 (S$63,883).<\/p>\n All of the durians were planted in Sanya by Hainan Youqi Agriculture.<\/p>\n A guest who tried five varieties said that two \u201cexceeded expectations\u201d, while another three weren\u2019t as good.<\/p>\n However, he noted that three-year trees can be considered top in the class, even in Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n Hainan Youqi Agriculture planted around 1,300 acres of durian \u2014 50 fruits a day.<\/p>\n Source:\u00a0News.cn<\/a><\/p>\n The annual output is around 40 tons.<\/p>\n Du Baizhong, the general manager at Hainan Youqi Agriculture, said, \u201cIt really isn\u2019t easy to grow durians in Hainan.\u201d<\/p>\n Mr Du started planting durians in March 2020 in Sanya and even became the president of the Durian Association in Hainan.<\/p>\n According to an associate researcher at the Institute of Tropical Crops Variety Resources of the Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences, the mature Golden Pillow durian grown domestically can achieve a richer flavour than imported products in Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n This is because the durians are fresher as compared to imported ones.<\/p>\n However, large-scale commercial durian planting in China isn\u2019t a thing yet.<\/p>\n According to\u00a0S<\/a>ina<\/a>\u00a0News<\/a>, domestic durians are only sold on e-commerce platforms and cost much more than imported durians.<\/p>\n Because of this, the industry still mainly relies on imports.<\/p>\n As a result, prices will not drop significantly in the short term.<\/p>\n However, the planting of more durian trees should reduce prices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" China is not the first pl<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ftpol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ftpol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ftpol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ftpol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ftpol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=384"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ftpol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":385,"href":"https:\/\/www.ftpol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384\/revisions\/385"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ftpol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=384"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ftpol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=384"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ftpol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=384"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}First-ever durian conference in Hainan<\/h3>\n
