What happened
A consortium, including Daikin Reefer, Hernan Cooperation, and Yidu Group, completed the first successful sea shipment of premium Malaysian durian to Dalian in 12 days. The arrival quality of the two-tonne shipment matched air freight and was comparable to the fruit at its origin, according to an inspection attended by the Trade Commissioner from the Malaysian Embassy. Global durian popularity is surging, with China accounting for over 90% of worldwide consumption.

Why it matters
This successful shipment validates a new sea logistics channel for high-value, perishable goods from Malaysia to China. Chinese imports of durian totaled 1.87 million metric tons in 2025, valued at $7.5 billion. This high demand has driven Malaysian plantations to expand cultivation of popular varieties like Musang King and Black Thorn.
