In 2025, the lychee growing area of ​​the whole province will remain stable at 29,700 hectares, including 8,000 hectares of early lychee and 21,700 hectares of main-season lychee. The expected output will reach 165,000 tons. Harvest time is from May 30 to July 30, 2025. Bac Giang always attaches importance to the traditional Chinese market, because this is a large lychee consuming market of Bac Giang.

The province hopes that this year's lychee crop, in addition to road transport, will also be transported to China by rail because the province already has an international transit station.
