flag Yunnan farmers successfully grow durians domestically, advancing food security and reducing imports.

flag A durian trial project in Yunnan province, especially in Mengla county and Jinghong, is advancing China’s effort to grow the tropical fruit domestically. flag Farmers have successfully cultivated durians from seeds planted over a decade ago, with mature trees now producing fruit. flag The region’s warm, humid climate supports growth similar to Southeast Asia, where durian is traditionally grown. flag Over 466 hectares are now planted, with high-demand varieties like Monthong and Musang King being introduced, often intercropped with jackfruit. flag Experts see the initiative as a step toward reducing import reliance and strengthening food security, while modernizing Yunnan’s agriculture. flag Challenges remain, including limited genetic resources and the need for better planting techniques, as the project moves from small-scale trials to potential commercial production.
