据了解，中国是全球最大的榴莲消费国，占全球榴莲消费量的90%以上。2024年，我国榴莲进口量达156万吨，创下历史新高。主要进口来源国为泰国，约占总进口量一半以上。

China is the world's largest consumer of durian, accounting for more than 90 percent of global durian consumption. In 2024, China's durian imports reached 1.56 million tons, setting a new historical record. Most of China's imported durian came from Thailand, which accounts for more than half of the total imports.

在中国市场上最常见的泰国榴莲的品种是金枕（Monthong or Golden Pillow）。它果型大、核小肉厚、出肉率高，冰激凌口感，性价比非常高，味道也比较容易被初尝者接受，是泰国主要产出的榴莲品种。

Monthong has a large fruit size, small seeds, thick flesh, high meat yield, and an ice cream-like texture. It offers excellent value for money and its taste is relatively easy for first-time tasters to accept. It is one of the main durian varieties produced in Thailand.

据了解，除了金枕之外，泰国的榴莲品种有200多种，适合不同段位和对口感有差异化需求的榴莲爱好者。速速收好他们的姓名特征，榴莲季伺机拿下！

▌泰国本地人的最爱：‌干尧（Gan Yao）

因其果柄细长，也叫长柄榴莲。个头稍小，刺密而尖，有复合蜂蜜坚果香，古时专供皇室的贡品。也有人觉得它有焦糖布丁口感和淡酒香，在泰国本地很受欢迎。

Known by its long stem, Gan Yao is smaller in size and has dense and sharp thorns. It has a complex aroma of honey and nuts and was once a tribute exclusively for the royal family in ancient times. Some people also describe its taste as having a caramel pudding texture with a wine aroma. It is very popular among locals in Thailand.

A small-sized durian usually weighs less than one kilogram. With sharp thorns, a creamy texture and sweet flavor, it is often used in ice cream and desserts.

你以为这几种就是泰国榴莲的全部？泰国榴莲协会会长Wuttichai Khunjet告诉记者，泰国的榴莲品种非常多。在当地，一些产量特别稀少的榴莲，价格最高也最受追捧，基本上没等运到国外就被买断了。但是，这些稀有品种榴莲的口味，也不是能被每个人接受的。

他介绍，为了满足中国市场对榴莲产品多样化的需求，泰国也在与时俱进开发更丰富的榴莲产品，比如榴莲冻干、榴莲冰激凌、榴莲脆片、榴莲蛋糕、榴莲饼干、榴莲糖、榴莲果冻等等。

To meet the diverse demands of the Chinese market for durian products, Thailand has developed a richer variety of durian products, such as freeze-dried durian, durian ice cream, durian chips, durian cakes, durian cookies, durian candies, durian jelly, and so on.

泰国东部农业与食品研究创新发展中心负责人Duanrung Benjamas博士近日接受中国日报采访时透露，泰国相关机构正在研发新的榴莲产品并对中国市场进行初步调研。她表示，未来中国榴莲爱好者们，将可能会喝到泰国榴莲做的新鲜榴莲汁、调和软饮以及榴莲浓缩冲泡粉。

这些产品会是一种怎样的口感？一起期待一下吧！
