  "account": "Malaysia is proposing a fast-track mechanism for transporting durians from the country to China within just 3-4 hours. This new KUL-CGO Smart Durian Fast Track system, developed by Malaysia Airports Holdings, China Henan Aviation Group, and Tropika Makmur Manufacturing, aims to streamline the entire process from arrival to cargo collection.\n\nThe innovative \"inspect-on-arrival\" and \"release-upon-compliance\" model will establish a dedicated corridor and platform to optimize cross-border transport and cold-chain logistics for fresh Malaysian durians. This initiative seeks to create a faster, more transparent, and better-coordinated shipment system between Kuala Lumpur International Airport and Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport.\n\nBy streamlining handling and inspection, improving free zone access, facilitating customs coordination, and enhancing permit and certification visibility, the Smart Durian Fast Track promises to significantly speed up the process for these time-sensitive agricultural products. With China being the world's largest market for durians, importing around 1.87 million tonnes worth $7.49 billion in 2025, this new system could significantly boost Malaysia's exports. Despite being a relatively new player in the market, Malaysia's durian exports more than quadrupled year-on-year to $30.26 million in the first six months of the year, a 47% increase compared to the previous year.",
