Fruit export prospects ripenProspects for fruit exports to China are more promising after Beijing allowed fruit transport from Thailand via the Laos-China high-speed railway. Previously Thai fruit were transported by train from Vientiane to Boten on the China-Laos border before being trucked to the mainland. On Nov 30, GACC announced the list of imported fruit inspection control locations on its website, with Mohan train station ready to inspect imported fruit in line with GACC regulations. The lofty export target was attributed to higher demand for Thai fruit and higher production in the 2022 harvest season. Of the export markets, China is Thailand's main fruit export market, accounting for 65%, followed by the US (10%), Hong Kong (4%), Vietnam (3%) and Malaysia (1%).
