The selling of lychee from Vietnam has gained a lot of advantage right from the beginning of the season. Especially, the successful export of lychees from Luc Ngan district, Bac Giang province to a very difficult market of America has brought happiness to both farmers and exporters.
Mr. Pham Ngoc Tu, the President of Anh Duong Sao Company, informed that the company has successfully exported 1 billion tons of lychee to America. Before then, the lychees were irradiated in Ho Chi Minh City. The whole lot of exported lychees was bought in regions labeled with production code following GlobalGap standard in Luc Ngan District.
According to Mr. Pham Ngoc Tu, early exports of lychees from Vietnam to America get advantages because the season of Mexico is coming 2 weeks later than that of Vietnam, so the demand for Vietnam’s lychee in America market is higher. Last year, the Anh Duong Sao company began to export 2 containers to America, and this year it is expected the number will be much more than that of last year, reaching up to 10 to 20 tons.
