Malaysia is seeking clearance from Thailand to export durian overland to China as it battles domestic oversupply and moves to expand its footing in the lucrative market.
Malaysian Agriculture and Food Security Minister Mohamad Sabu said on Monday he had raised the issue with his Thai counterpart, Suriya Jungrungreangkit, and in separate talks with Chinese customs authorities. The plan was to export durian by train and truck from Malaysia through Thailand to China.
