The Department of College Education, Science, Research and Change of Thailand (MHESI) states that the country is promoting scientific and technological applications in the entire chain of sadness supply, from classification, quality testing to processing and export conservation.

This movement takes place as China - the world's largest single-consumed consumer market, more and more squeezed quality, chemical surplus and source-based trace. Meanwhile, competition in the area also increased as Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines and Cambodia expanded exports to this market.

The data from the Chinese Customs Agency indicates that, in 11 months 2025, the country imports 1,79 million of its own new sorrows worth $7,18 billion. Thailand is still the largest provider with 903,610 tons, making up 50,39% of the share, but the weight has declined by 52,04% of the same period of 2024 Meanwhile, Vietnam exports to this country to 884,590 tons, raising the share to 49,33%.

The competition increased at the Chinese market caused Thai export businesses to promote technology applications to reduce errors and keep the share.

This year, the Thai Department of Agriculture set its own sad export goal to achieve more than $150 billion baht (4.2 billion) and to deploy policy "4 zero", including non-subscription, no depth of disease, no violation of export rights and no chemical storage.

The packaged businesses in Thailand began the AI application and the scan system to test the ninth, detecting small or pre-exported sadness instead of manual classification.

According to MHESI, this technology helps to evaluate the individual quality of sadness with less manually dependent experience such as "to the left", instead of the quantitative standards for export service.

In the meantime, Thailand enhances its application of nuclear technology in preservation and processing after harvesting. The controlled X-ray doses are used to extend the preservative time, slow the process of ripening and processing harmful organisms in the service area, serving difficult markets such as the US and China.

In addition to X-ray, MHESI states that gamma radiography technology dealing with gnarly flies has been tested at Chanthaburi for over 20 years to reduce chemical use and lower costs for farmers.

In particular, according to the Thai Government portal of Information, the Thai Agriculture Research Agency (ARDA) developed the "Durian CT-scan" integrated AI that is capable of detecting the ripeness, small fruit and depth of the seed in just three seconds per second with about 95% accuracy. The system can classify up to 1,200 per hour.

The technology was developed along with the University of Suranaree Technology by improving medical CT-scan machines that had stopped using. According to ARDA, the cost of equipment dropped from about 10 million baht to 2 million baht per machine, helping the workers' savings pack facilities and increasing the speed of export processing.

Previously, China had increased the test of Bessic Yellow 2 on private import mourning after detecting several shipments from Thai this dye. Thailand has had to destroy many shipments returned and reshape the procedure to maintain trust at the world's largest import market.
