This chapter examines the impacts of unofficial investment from China on the diffusion of watermelon cultivation in Myanmar. The transition to horticulture from conventional crops involves three challenges for local growers: large working capital required for intensive cultivation, lack of cultivation skills, and lack of distribution channels for perishable fruit. Since the late 1990s, Chinese investments have generated knowledge spillover, and their large-volume exports have attracted buyers from mainland China to the Myanmar–China borderland. These external effects of Chinese investments, combined with the high profitability of watermelon, have mitigated the obstacles and prompted Burmese farmers' adoption of watermelon cultivation. Land rental practices and the wholesale system emerged spontaneously, accelerating the production and export of watermelon.

In the past five years, exports of Thai durian have been increasing consistently, dominating the Chinese market. In this study, key informant interviews and analyses of the secondary data revealed changes that affect durian exports, including increasing Chinese demand, the emergence of new durian planting areas, the expansion of the processed durian market, and transportation improvements in Mekong region countries. The empirical analysis also demonstrated that Chinese entrepreneurs have expanded their roles in the value chain to replace Thai entrepreneurs. Although farmers and packing plants may presently benefit from the increasing export volume of durian, concerns arise about the total value capture of the entirety of Thai stakeholders.

Mainland Southeast Asia is becoming a more important source location for China’s increasing appetite for fresh fruits. This is leading to significant transformations in key sites for fresh fruit production. This chapter sets out the background contexts for this issue and proposes a framework to understand these transformations. It argues that the value chains that are evolving to service this trade present distinctive differences from those that have evolved to provide fresh fruit exports in markets of the global North, because of unique characteristics in the Chinese market. These differences are manifested in (1) highly selective geographical incorporation of mainland Southeast Asian fresh fruit industries into the orbit of Chinese demand because of the complex bilateral trade rules and institutional arrangements for trade, and (2) greater pluralism in chain governance with, in particular, power and control being exercised more prominently by mid-chain actors including Chinese traders and brokers.

Myanmar's mango export industry depends disproportionately on China. By comparing the country's supply chain for export to China with that for export to Singapore, this chapter elucidates the obstacles that prevent diversification of export destinations. Major findings from interviews with key informants and analyses of the secondary data are as follows; First, the fruits exported to Singapore are interchangeable with those exported to China. Second, these countries' sanitary and phytosanitary measures do not bottleneck imports from Myanmar. Third, notable differences are evident between the supply chains with respect to the post-harvest handling of fruits, particularly sorting and grading, treatment for pest and disease control, and logistics management. On the whole, these findings suggest that a shortage of firms orchestrating the post-harvest management inhibits growth of export to Singapore. By contrast, for exports to China, the wholesale market in the borderland compensate for lack of coordinating firms. Myanmar's trade policies, which discourage foreign investment in the trade of fresh fruits, call for further consideration.
