China has reopened all of its land Customs clearance checkpoints for Thai durians after closing them in the middle of this month, an adviser to the agriculture minister said on Friday. Alongkorn Pollabutr said he had received a report from the Thai agricultural office in Guangzhou that China has allowed the import of Thai durians at the Pingxiang border checkpoint with Vietnam on Friday after it had earlier gradually reopened other border checkpoints to facilitate delivery of the fruit.
China had blocked Thai durians from April 12 to 14 after traces of Covid-19 virus were found in a fruit shipment at the Mohan border checkpoint. Alongkorn, who is also chairman of the forward committee on solving problems related to Thai fruits, said the reopening of the Pingxiang checkpoint would speed up export of durians to China.
