Quality challenges and export barriers

Despite stable prices, the durian industry is facing significant pressure regarding technical standards. In 2025, Vietnam's fruit and vegetable exports are projected to reach US$8.6 billion, with durian contributing approximately US$4 billion (accounting for 40-45% of the total). However, the risks of pesticide residue and heavy metals remain a challenging issue.

Market experts believe that strict control from cultivation to traceability is crucial for maintaining market share in demanding markets like China and Singapore. The agricultural sector is shifting from prioritizing acreage to focusing on improving the quality and fat content of fruit to optimize export value.

Pressure from the regional market

Notably, the regional market is witnessing a price drop in Malaysia due to local oversupply. This is primarily caused by large quantities of Musang King durian from orchards under 10 years old that do not meet export quality standards being pushed back into the domestic market.

Durian prices in Malaysia are currently only around 15-20 ringgit/kg (equivalent to 3.2-4.3 USD/kg). This development has created a cautious sentiment among traders and export businesses in Vietnam, prompting them to adjust short-term purchasing plans to avoid indirect impacts from the low-priced supply in the region.
