The northern Vietnamese province of Hai Duong has been taking actions to promote lychee sales. The fruit of its Thanh Ha district will be ripening in the latter half of May. Renowned for its lychees, Thanh Ha is currently home to 3,265ha under the fruit, including 1,700ha of early-ripening one. About 400ha has met VietGAP standards and 50ha GlobaGAP.
China is still a large market for Vietnamese lychees. This year, lychee export to China will face many challenges as this neighboring market has high and strict requirements for agricultural imports, so localities should work harder on production organization and quality management, said To Ngoc Son, Deputy Director of the Asia - Africa Market Department at the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
