High quality lychee from northern Bac Giang province.

So far this year, nearly 200,000 tonnes of lychees, or 85 percent of the province’s lychee output, has been sold at high prices mostly in China, the US, French, Australia, the UK, Malaysia and Laos, said Tran Van Loc, Director of the provincial Department of Industry and Trade.

In the domestic markets of Hanoi, Hue, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City and a number of southern provinces, the price ranges between 10-15,000 VND (0.4-0.7 USD) per kilogramme.

The fruit was also shipped to foreign countries, such as China, the US, Australia, France, Malaysia and Laos.

The successful consumption was buoyed by active support activities conducted by the province, including promotion events across the country and abroad.

Lychee farmers have also received technical assistance in ensuring their products meet international requirements.
