According to Mr. Dat, in 2021 and 2022, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Japan temporarily authorized Vietnam to supervise the treatment and quarantine of lychees exported to this country.

This year, the Covid-19 epidemic has been controlled, so in early June, Japanese experts came to Vietnam to participate in controlling and certifying lychee batches exported to the Japanese market. The Plant Protection Department also worked with Japanese experts to supervise and carry out plant quarantine procedures right at processing facilities, creating conditions for the export of lychees quickly and effectively.

Mr. Huynh Tan Dat also said that it is forecasted that this year lychee exports to Japan will grow positively, and businesses will have more orders than in previous years.

According to Mr. Nguyen Phi Thoan, CEO of JV Solutions Company (Japan), the first batch of 5 tons of lychee from Vietnam tested by this enterprise in early June received the attention of many partners and customers and had good consumption in Japan.

"Lychee is being sold in retail stores and supermarkets in Japan at a price of about 400,000 VND/kg," said Mr. Thoan.

Previously, on June 3-4, during the Vietnam Festival in Japan, held at Yoyogi Park, Tokyo, the Vietnam Trade Office in Japan opened a booth giving away free lychees to attendees and was well received by many Japanese people and Vietnamese people in Japan.
