Vietnamese lychees reach EU consumers through e-commerce platform
More than three tons of lychee from the northern province of Bac Giang has been exported to Germany via the e-commerce platform Voso.
The Vietnam E-Commerce and Digital Economy Agency under the Ministry of Industry and Trade said this is the first time Vietnam’s agricultural products have been shipped to Europe through the “cross-border e-commerce” model on an e-commerce platform developed and operated by the Southeast Asian nation.

Sponsored by Viettel Post, Voso launched its Voso Global last March, offering high-quality Vietnamese farm produce to consumers in foreign markets, especially overseas Vietnamese.
The platform has optimized Viettel Post’s smart logistics system to deliver the fruit that satisfies GlobalGap standards to German customers.
More farming products are expected to be put on the platform in the time ahead, thus serving consumers both at home and abroad.
The Department of E-commerce and Digital Economy has supported Voso to create Vietnamese and English versions of its website.
