Frozen durian for the Chinese market
Frozen durian reduces the pressure of ripeness and transit time compared with fresh fruit, but in return it demands tight control of temperature, raw material and processing facilities.
Main differences from fresh durian
- Goods are frozen quickly after handling, so they no longer ripen during transport.
- Delivery schedules are more flexible because they depend less on when the fruit ripens.
- The cold chain matters more: storage, trucks and containers must hold a stable temperature.
- Processing facilities and raw-material inputs are supervised more closely.
Points to check before ordering
- Raw material comes from a registered growing area that is still valid.
- Processing, freezing and cold-storage facilities meet the importing market's requirements.
- Core temperature of the product after freezing and throughout storage and transport; the exact level follows the rules in force at the time of the transaction.
- Damaged fruit is removed before freezing, with clear labels and batch codes.
- Test results as required by the market.
When frozen is worth considering
Frozen goods suit buyers who need a steady delivery schedule, want to lower the risk of over-ripening or need stock between seasons. The cost of freezing and cold storage should be included in the overall price of the order.

Frequently asked questions
Does frozen durian need a growing-area code?
Raw material usually has to come from a registered growing area, as the importing market requires. Gia Phú cross-checks this against the named entity and its validity at the time of the transaction.
How do frozen and fresh durian differ in price?
There is no fixed level. Price depends on variety, specification, freezing and cold-storage costs, transport and the commercial terms of each contract.
