The list of these Chinese traders has been sent by the Bac Giang Provincial Police to the Immigration Department ( Ministry of Public Security ) to carry out procedures for granting entry permits. It is expected that by the end of May, Chinese traders will begin entering Bac Giang to participate in the consumption of early-ripening lychees.

Mr. Tran Quang Tan, Director of the Department of Industry and Trade of Bac Giang, said that in 2023, the whole province will have 29,700 hectares of lychee; of which, the harvested area is estimated to yield over 180,000 tons, with the expected harvest time from May 20 to July 30.

This year, there will be a new innovation in trade promotion and consumption of lychee. Instead of organizing many promotional and trade promotion activities in many provinces and cities, the Department of Industry and Trade of Bac Giang will switch to directly connecting gardeners and cooperatives with businesses to sign contracts to purchase and consume lychee.

To date, the Bac Giang Center for Industrial Promotion and Trade Promotion has signed 34 cooperation agreements with agricultural wholesale markets, e-commerce trading floors, supermarket chains, businesses... to consume about 110,000 tons of lychee.

In Bac Giang, Tan Yen district will be the first locality to harvest early ripening lychees. According to Tan Yen district People's Committee, from May 25 to May 31, this locality will organize many activities to promote the consumption of early ripening lychees in Phuc Hoa commune. On this occasion, in addition to introducing and promoting the consumption of early ripening lychees, Tan Yen district will combine organizing eco-tourism and spiritual tourism models associated with the consumption of lychees and local agricultural products.

According to statistics, Tan Yen district has 1,340 hectares of lychee, with an estimated output of about 17,000 tons. Of which, early-ripening lychee is grown mainly in Phuc Hoa commune with an area of 680 hectares, with an estimated output of about 9,000 tons; the harvest time for early-ripening lychee is from May 30 to June 12. In this year's lychee crop, Tan Yen district has welcomed 8 businesses to survey raw material areas and plan to purchase lychee for export, of which Phuc Hoa Lychee Production and Consumption Cooperative will be the focal point for consuming about 10,000 tons.

According to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Bac Giang, after reviewing, the province has 110 growing area codes with 16,034 hectares and 215 facilities qualified to package fresh lychee for export to the Chinese market. In addition, Bac Giang is proposing to grant 13 additional growing area codes, with an area of 575 hectares, bringing the total area of lychee grown for export to China to 16,609 hectares, with an estimated output of 110,000 tons.

To facilitate the export of lychees to China, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Bac Giang has coordinated with localities to organize training for gardeners, cooperatives, and exporting enterprises to strictly comply with and comply with the regulations in Order 248 (management of registration of foreign food production enterprises exporting to China) and Order 249 (management of food safety exported and imported to China) of the General Administration of Customs of China, to minimize risks in export.

In addition, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Bac Giang is supporting and guiding production households in the lychee growing area to prepare well the conditions of facilities, equipment, harvesting tools and prepare for field inspection of the growing area and packaging facilities by the General Department of Customs of China.
