This is a "rail-land" hybrid transportation system, which shortens the transportation time by one and a half days .
The durians, which were "tested for illegal and contaminated plant diseases", were transported by new container trucks from Chanthaburi province, Thailand, in a total of 27 containers .

Earlier this month, after we tested two boxes of durians and one box of coconuts successfully exported to China, we expanded our transportation to export other fruits and agricultural products, such as: mangosteen, longan, rice, rubber, cassava, sugar, mango, etc.
Following the successful export of the first batch of durians to China by rail, the second batch of durians exported by rail is expected to be dispatched next week .
