HCMCity (VNS/VNA)  - The firstbatch of fresh Vietnamese lychees exported to Japan was sold in AEON's storesystem, including 250 AEON General Merchandise Stores and Supermarkets andAEON Style stores in Japan.

In December 2019, the import restriction on Vietnam’s fruits was lifted.This is the first batch of fresh Vietnamese lychees exported to Japan.AEON is the first retailer to sell this fruit to Japanese consumers.

Fresh lychees were shipped by air between the end of Mayand the end of June without being frozen to ensure the quality andtaste of the product.

Besides lychees, many other special Vietnamese agricultural products such asmango, dragon fruit and coffee have also been exported and sold in AEON’ssupermarkets in Japan since 2015.

The successful export and distribution of Vietnamese agricultural products inAEON's retail system in Japan is the result of efforts of companies under theAEON Group in Vietnam.

AEON has cooperated with the Vietnamese Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT)to organise activities to help Vietnamese suppliers improve the quality oftheir products, aiming to export to foreign markets, especially Japan.

Total export revenue of Vietnamese products through the AEON system hasincreased strongly over the past years, from nearly 250 million USD in 2017 to 370million USD last year. The figure is expected to top 450 million USD this year.
