THE Davao City-based Maylong Enterprises Corp. has started exporting frozen durian meat and paste to China, as approved by the latter's General Administration of Customs. Last week, Maylong — the first Philippine enterprise to export the fruit to China — shipped 1,050 boxes of frozen durian meat and 300 boxes of durian paste with a total value of P8.2 million to the Nansha District of Guangzhou.

The breakthrough is the result of a collaboration between the Department of Agriculture–Regional Field Office 11 (DA-RFO 11) and the Bureau of Plant Industry's (BPI) Plant Quarantine Service in the Port of Davao. The agencies facilitated the process of compliance to China's strict import regulations.
