Thailand has exported more than 1.11 million tonnes of durians so far this year, surpassing last year's total despite higher production, transport costs and intensifying competition.
Deputy Prime Minister and Commerce Minister Suphajee Suthumpun said Thailand exported 1,110,655.92 tonnes of durians in 68,044 containers, generating more than 127 billion baht in revenue between Jan 1 and Aug 4.
