Agency keen on fruit quality controls

The quality of fruit exports, especially durian, is a concern for the Internal Trade Department.

The Internal Trade Department is implementing 22 measures to manage fruit supply for this year's harvest, with production estimated to grow by 3% to 6.78 million tonnes.

Wattanasak Sur-iam, the department's director-general, said the higher output is attributed to cooler weather late last year and early this year.
