More than 157,000 metric tonnes of tissue-cultured bananas were exported to China between April 2025 and January 2026 via the Kampaiti border post in Kachin State, according to the Kachin State Department of Agriculture.
As of the end of January in the 2025-2026 financial year, the export volume of tissue-cultured bananas stands at 157,200 metric tonnes, compared to 287,872 metric tonnes during the same period last year. In terms of price, one metric tonne of tissue-cultured bananas is currently being sold for 2,520 yuan (approximately K1.134 million).
The main export routes for tissue-cultured bananas to China are the Waingmaw– Kampaiti route and the Bhamo — Momauk — Loije route, with most exports currently passing through the Kampaiti post. To export tissue-cultured bananas to China, exporters must obtain a JACC certificate, and although there are 46 certified tissue-cultured banana production companies in Kachin State, only 15 are currently exporting the fruit.
Due to the discovery of pesticide residues at some plantations and in the products of certain companies, exports have been temporarily suspended under JACC regulations. Currently, only companies that comply with the regulations are allowed to continue exporting through the designated channel.
