To ensure the quality of durian for export, the Department of Agriculture and Forestry of Lam Dong province is strictly monitoring growing areas and controlling product quality. Since April 16th, the Plant Protection and Crop Production Sub-Department has monitored 76 growing areas. The monitoring content follows the requirements of the Department of Plant Protection and Crop Production as well as the regulations of importing countries (mainly China). The focus is on checking cultivation logs to monitor the use of pesticides, fertilizers, and plant quarantine pests. The results show that the growing areas have met the requirements of importing countries and are eligible to maintain their durian export codes to the Chinese market. Currently, the Department is continuing to monitor 38 growing areas that have already been granted codes and 10 packaging facilities.

Durian from Lam Dong meets export standards.

To control product quality, from the beginning of June 2025 to the present, the Department of Crop Production and Plant Protection has collected 234 durian fruit samples from growing areas for analysis of pesticide residues, heavy metals such as cadmium and lead, and for pest identification. In the coming period, another 108 durian fruit samples will be collected for further analysis and testing.

The Department of Agriculture and Environment advises farmers to adhere to safe durian cultivation practices and ensure harvesting meets export standards. Farmers should cooperate with businesses, not sacrificing their relationships for profit, in order to create stability, sustainability, and a long-term value chain.

Growing areas must strictly adhere to production processes, monitoring, supervision, and pest and disease control procedures. Regular and proactive analysis is necessary to tightly control pesticide residues, heavy metals such as cadmium and lead, etc., in order to meet the requirements of importing countries. Packaging facilities must establish and strictly implement a one-way packaging process, ensure traceability, and invest in equipment to implement technical measures to meet the regulations of importing countries. The use of Yellow O in the processing and preservation of durian products must be prohibited.
