Durian exports increased sharply by 64% in the recent quarter, but Lam Dong – a major growing region – is facing difficulties in managing growing area codes and packaging facilities. The lack of a qualified local inspection room forces businesses to send samples to Ho Chi Minh City for testing, which takes 3-5 days, slowing down delivery progress. In addition, monitoring of businesses outside the province using Lam Dong codes is not strict, potentially affecting reputation in the international market.
