The first batch of durians exported by air from Thailand has arrived at Nanning Wuxu International Airport in Guangxi, China, following an effort to boost trade between the two countries by air.
The fruit arrived at the airport on a Tianjin Air Cargo flight, which landed roughly two hours after taking off from Bangkok.
"It is good news for durian farmers," said Alongkorn Ponlaboot, adviser to the Agriculture and Cooperatives Minister.
