The most important thing when shipping durian to Europe is keeping it fresh across a long journey and through several handovers.
Why frozen durian suits long routes
Durian is highly perishable. For distant markets, freezing preserves the fruit so it can travel by sea and still arrive in good condition. After thawing, it is ready to serve or to use in food production.
How we prepare it
- Selection and cleaning. Good-quality durians are selected, then cleaned to meet hygiene standards.
- Cryogenic freezing. Liquid nitrogen is pumped into a chamber and cools the fruit quickly.
- Vacuum packing. Each fruit is vacuum-packed individually and placed in an insulated box.
- Labelling. Boxes are labelled by variety so they can be identified easily.
- Transport. We work with logistics partners to keep the product frozen in transit.
Planning imports into Europe
Import rules for frozen fruit vary between countries in Europe and are updated from time to time. Before a first order, importers should confirm the documentation, plant-health and food-safety requirements and labelling rules that apply in their country, as well as cold-storage capacity on arrival.
