Pơng Drang commune is estimated to produce 13,900 tons of durian.

On August 29th, the People's Committee of Pơng Drang commune held a conference to implement the production, harvesting, and consumption of durian for the 2025 crop year.

Pơng Drang commune was established by merging the entire natural area and population of Ea Ngai and Tân Lập communes and Pơng Drang town. The commune has an area of ​​85.03 km² and a population of 30,208 people.

The leaders of the People's Committee of Pơng Drang commune chaired the meeting.

In the 2025 crop year, Pơng Drang commune had 2,362 hectares of durian; of which 1,580 hectares were ready for harvest, with an estimated yield of 13,900 tons. Pơng Drang commune was granted 3 packaging facility codes and 26 durian growing area codes for official export by Chinese Customs, covering an area of ​​534.3 hectares with 358 households participating in production.

Currently, the Ri6 durian variety in the commune is entering its harvest season; the Dona durian variety is harvested from September to November. The main form of consumption is through direct contracts between businesses and farmers or through purchasing via traders.

Members of the Farmers' Association in Pơng Drang commune have reported on the current situation regarding the use of pesticides in durian production.

To ensure the sustainable development of the durian industry, the People's Committee of Pơng Drang commune has implemented several solutions: supporting cooperatives and cooperative groups to link with businesses for purchasing, processing, and exporting; guiding people to apply VietGAP production processes; regularly inspecting and monitoring durian growing areas and packaging facilities in the area…

However, durian production and consumption in Pơng Drang commune still face many limitations. The area granted planting area codes and packaging facilities is not commensurate with the potential; the output market is unstable and heavily dependent on China; and the misuse of pesticides and violations of construction regulations at some warehouses still occur.

Speaking at the conference, Chairman of the People's Committee of Phan Hoang Lam commune requested that organizations and individuals granted planting area codes and packaging facilities strictly manage their operations to ensure product quality and maintain their reputation in the export market. In addition, specialized departments must coordinate to guide farmers on proper durian cultivation and harvesting techniques; develop a production-procurement chain to help farmers confidently sell their products. At the same time, he advised farmers to carefully and transparently sign procurement contracts to avoid risks and being "trapped" by unscrupulous businesses.
