Thailand is accelerating the application of AI, CT-scan, and X-rays in its durian export chain to enhance quality, minimize defective products, and retain market share in China.
Intercropping cadmium-absorbing plants, raising soil pH, applying organic fertilizers, and using microbial products are biological solutions to reduce toxicity in durian, according to the Southern Horticultural Research Institute.
Durian is high in sugar and fat, easily increasing blood sugar levels; one pod containing 80-100g provides 20-25g of carbohydrate, almost equivalent to a small bowl of rice.
