The northern province of Bac Giang, in collaboration with the ministries of Industry and Trade, and Agriculture and Rural Development, held an online conference on litchi sales for nearly 80 target markets at home and abroad.
The conference provided an opportunity for Bac Giang to promote litchi sales in domestic and export markets; and strengthen its coordination with centrally-run agencies, domestic and foreign provinces and cities, and overseas Vietnamese economic, trade and diplomatic agencies. It also served as a forum for domestic and foreign businesses to find partners and sign contracts for litchi and litchi-based products in this year.
Speaking at the event, Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Bac Giang province Phan The Tuan said that thanks to the favourable weather and the close control of growing area codes, the quality of Bac Giang’s litchi is higher than in previous years.
The output this year is estimated at 180,000 tonnes, of which about 60,000 tonnes can be harvested early from May 20. The main harvest season will run from June 10 to July 25, with around 21,250 hectares producing 120,000 tonnes.
