On July 2, the first container of the 2018 Vietnamese lychee crop arrived in Malaysia. It received a warm welcome. The batch was imported by Kuala Lumpur-based Billyan Global Resources and Vietnam’s Hanoi Trade Corporation. After recognizing the large demand for the fruit, Billyan Global Resources has decided to increase Vietnamese lychee imports to Kuala Lumpur and nearby states, such as Selangor.
Vietnamese Commercial Counsellor in Malaysia Pham Quoc Anh said the Vietnamese Trade Office has partnered with authorities to bring Vietnamese lychees and various other local goods – such as fruits and vegetables, seafood, and processed foods – to Malaysia. According to en.vietnamplus.vn, he advised Vietnamese enterprises to improve their product design, quality, and delivery standards to increase their market share in Malaysia.
