How does a durian make its way across the Asia-Pacific to you?

In a Malaysian orchard, a photo taken on a mobile phone allows AI to help farmers count durians. At Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport, fruit inspection robots automatically cross-check labels, manifests and other information, making customs clearance more efficient. Once inspected and cleared by customs, fresh durians can reach local consumers' tables in as little as two hours. From branch to table, a durian's journey across the sea brings together technology, logistics and trade—turning the benefits of openness and cooperation across the Asia-Pacific into a sweet taste of everyday life.
