The northern province of BacGiang has been promoting the sales of thieu lychee in domestic and foreign markets, including high-standard ones, according to Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Phan The Tuan.
Another batch of ‘thieu’ lychee from the northern province of Hai Duong will be shipped to France this week thanks to swift consumption of the fruit in the European country.
Authorities of the northern province of Hai Duong are carrying out necessary procedures to offer from 5-10 products meeting standards in the ''One Commune - One Product'' (OCOP) programme, including Thiều lychee, for sale on e-commerce platforms before May 18.
A week to promote thieu lychee from the northern province of Bac Giang’s Luc Ngan District will kick off at Ha Noi’s Exhibition Fair, Economic Transaction and Commercial Area from June 7-16.
Thieu lychee, a unique fruit of the northern province of Bac Giang, is expected to record VND5.5 trillion (US$240.28 million) in value this year if it can retain its current price until the end of the fruit season.
Representatives of the country''s two largest Thieu lychee-growing
provinces, Bac Giang and Hai Duong, together with people from ministries
and localities, have discussed ways to further boost the consumption of
the fruit in the southern region.
