Thieu lychees, grown in Luc Ngan district in the northern province of Bac Giang, has been granted a certificate of geographical indication from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan.
The Thieu lychee has been already granted geographical protection in six countries - China, Laos, Cambodia, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, and Australia. The product has been exported to many countries worldwide.
MAFF’s certification of geographical indication for Thieu lychees proves that the quality of the product meets international standards, especially a "difficult" market like Japan, said Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Le Anh Duong.
As reported on en.vietnamplus.vn, the certification is expected to facilitate the export of Thieu lychee to Japan and help the locality to expand export to other markets, he added.
