PARLIAMENT | Durian and its by-products are the top searches by consumers from China on e-commerce giant Alibaba.com, Deputy International Trade and Industry Minister Ahmad Maslan said.
"Look at Alibaba.com, there is popular search. Anything related to durian is the top search on Alibaba.com among consumers from China," he told Dewan Rakyat during the question-and-answer session today.
The Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Ministry was looking at ways to make the export of durian and durian-related products easier, and the outcome would be made known soon, Ahmad added.
The Pontian MP also said that Putrajaya was seeking to penetrate the China market with the export of "Musang King" durians, such as through the Nov 3 to Nov 5 promotion programme in China.
Recently, only durian by-products and packed peel-off durian were allowed to be exported to China, according to him.
