"Malaysian durian has significant advantages compared to other variants in terms of colour, meat quality and taste.

“与其他品种相比,马来西亚榴莲在颜色、肉质和口味方面具有显着优势。

 

"However, the price of Malaysian durian is also significantly higher than other durian varieties due to the higher transportation costs.

"Given the strong demand for Malaysian durian and its higher pricing, some unscrupulous importers confuse the durian origin and variety to obtain high profits," he said in a statement on 13th April.

他在4月13日的一份声明中说:“鉴于对马来西亚榴莲的强劲需求及其较高的价格,一些不道德的进口商将榴莲的产地和品种混为一谈,以获取高额利润。”

CAIQ是为研究和开发应用于检验检疫的科学技术而设立的国家事业单位。

 

According to Dr Ch'ng, the standard implemented will help to fight against unscrupulous importers' practices of confusing durian origin as they would require to obtain the Malaysian Durian Certification to authenticate its origin.

The MDCI formulated by CAIQ have completed the filing with the National Certification and Accreditation Administration (CNCA) and will accept applications for certification from Chinese importers of Malaysian durians and Malaysian exporters from now on.

 

The demand for durian, known as the King of Fruits, has been gaining traction in China over the last few years, mainly for its authentic, pungent smell, delicious pulp and rich nutrition.
