At Thanh Binh Square, leaders of the province, departments, branches, districts and representatives of the Joint Stock Companies: Ameii Vietnam, Hung Viet Agricultural Products, Fusa Organic Agriculture cut the ribbon to export the first tons of lychee to the markets: Japan, Australia, Europe.

As part of a series of events, the Thanh Ha – Hai Duong litchi trade promotion conference was connected online with many Vietnamese trade counselors and foreign enterprises taking place at the hall of the Thanh Ha District People's Committee. According to the objective assessment of domestic and foreign enterprises, this year Thanh Ha litchi has a bumper crop and relatively favorable consumption.

Trade counselors from many countries around the world discuss ways to consume Hai Duong agricultural products, especially Thanh Ha lychee.

At the conference, Mr. Tong Ba Luan, Head of the Vietnam Trade Office in San Francisco (USA) expressed his view that he always supports trade promotion to boost the export of his homeland's agricultural products, especially Thanh Ha lychee products. The US market has strict requirements on plant quarantine and packaging processes. The quantity of Thanh Ha lychee products exported to the US is currently modest but has increased gradually over the years.

Leaders of the Department of Industry and Trade spoke at the conference

In the coming time, the provincial government and localities with lychees need to actively promote and guide farmers to produce according to standards and regularly connect with foreign counselors.

According to some foreign trade counselors, Thanh Ha litchi is not yet imported much because of its relatively high price, from 600,000 to 700,000 VND/kg. Foreign trade counselors committed to providing detailed information about the market so that Hai Duong agricultural products, especially Thanh Ha litchi, can be consumed smoothly.
