On Friday (July 4) evening, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries announced that final permission had been granted by the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC), in accordance with a protocol signed by both parties on April 17. 'The decision was made after the GACC evaluated and approved the registration applications of 112 durian plantations and 30 packing facilities, which met the Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) standards, phytosanitary requirements and Chinese food safety standards,' explained a ministry statement. The ministry advised growers and other stakeholders to ensure the quality and sustainability of export fruit, and called on all farm owners and packing facility operators to comply with the protocol's conditions — free from harmful contaminants, pesticide residues or banned chemicals. It encouraged other farm and packing facility owners who wish to export durian to submit registration applications to the ministry's General Directorate of Agriculture. According to the Ministry of Commerce, durian is the ninth Cambodian agricultural product which is licensed for export to China. It follows rice, broken rice, dried cassava chips, corn, bananas, mangoes, longans, and peppers. 'This is a fruitful achievement born from the strong cooperation between Cambodia and China,' added the agriculture ministry. - The Phnom Penh Post/ANN

China agrees to have customs officials work 24 hours to facilitate Thai durian imports
BANGKOK: Agriculture Minister Narumon Pinyosinwat on Thursday (May 8) thanked the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC) for agreeing to operate its customs checkpoints 24 hours a day to facilitate imports of durians from Thailand. 'I would like to thank the GACC and its officials for attaching importance to durian imports from Thailand and for assigning officials to work 24 hours a day, seven days a week,' Narumon said. She added that she had contacted the GACC, which agreed to extend operating hours at border checkpoints through which Thai durian exporters ship their produce. Moreover, she said that Chinese authorities had also increased the number of laboratories on their side of the border to test Thai durians for contamination with Basic Yellow 2 (BY2) dye. Previously, China had found some shipments of Thai durians contaminated with the dye and rejected them. As Thailand enters its peak durian harvest season, the Agriculture Ministry will work closely with its Chinese counterpart and the GACC to ensure smooth shipments of durians from Thailand to China, Narumon said. - The Nation/ANN

Salt export to China rises
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's salt exports to China witnessed a significant increase in the first quarter of 2025, rising by 40 per cent compared to the same period last year. According to data released by General Administration of Customs of China (GACC), Pakistan exported over 13.64 million kilogram's of salt to China worth $1.83 million, whereas, last year in the same period it was $1.30 million. The sharp increase highlights the growing trade cooperation between the two countries under the framework of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and reflects China's rising demand for high-quality industrial and edible salt. Pakistan is exporting salt to China under three categories, edible salt, pure sodium chloride and other salt. Industry experts attribute Pakistan's export growth to improved logistics, competitive pricing, and enhanced quality standards adopted by Pakistani exporters. The rise in salt export is also driven by China's increasing industrial consumption, particularly in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing sectors. Copyright Business Recorder, 2025
