Thailand tightens packing house checks to secure durian and mango exports in 2026

Thailand has strengthened inspection and certification procedures for durian and mango packing houses to maintain export compliance during the 2026 harvest season, as authorities prepare for peak shipments to international markets, according to the Department of Agriculture Thailand.

The Department of Agriculture reinforced requirements for packing houses involved in export operations. Facilities must follow stricter inspection and certification steps to ensure fruit meets importing country standards before shipment. These measures are part of routine controls applied to export supply chains handling fresh produce.

Authorities stressed that consistent inspection procedures are essential to maintain product quality and prevent trade disruptions. Exporters are required to complete certification processes before fruit can be shipped abroad, supporting reliable market access during the main export season.

Durian and mango remain key export fruits for Thailand, making compliance at the packing house level critical during the harvest period. Strengthening inspection controls is intended to ensure shipments meet phytosanitary and quality requirements set by destination markets.
