Hanoi, (VNA) - The northern province of Bac Giang is promoting lychee exports to the
US, the EU, Japan and the Republic of Korea (RoK) by implementing a
master plan to zone off and grow lychee in accordance
with modern food quality and hygiene standards.
Nearly 100 ha of lychee in Luc Ngan district has been cultivated in line with GlobalGAP standards, expected to generate 500-600 tonnes for export to traditional markets such as China, Laos and Cambodia. Meanwhile, VietGAP-standardised lychee cultivation will be enlarged to 9,500 ha producing 47,000-57,000 tonnes per year.
The province has mapped out a specific plan to develop lychee in Luc Ngan district to ensure adequate supply for export to new markets, developing 150 ha under GlobalGAP in 2016 and 250 ha in 2020.
The provincial Department of Science and Technology together with scientists from research institutes and universities held a workshop to introduce Israel’s irradiation technology to produce qualified lychee for export.
Luc Ngan lychee brand name has received protection certification in Japan, the RoK and Cambodia and it is expected to be guaranteed in China and Cambodia during the second quarter of this year.
The Department is working to register brand name protection in the US, Australia, Singapore, Israel, Germany, France and Russia.
It is also currently preparing for a number of conferences to promote consumption and working with Vietnam Airlines to discuss ways to bring lychee into the carrier’s in-flight food options.
Meanwhile, the Luc Ngan District People’s Committee is asking relevant agencies to instruct and inspect lychee cultivation processes applying new technology in accordance with VietGAP and GlobalGAP standards.
It also requests lychee growers to follow preservation regulations before exporting to foreign markets.
Tran Van Loc, Director of the provincial Department of Industry and Trade, said that Dong Giao Export Food Company is working with the province to discuss measures for Luc Ngan lychee exports as it has signed a contract to sell 5,000 tonnes of frozen lychee to the US, Japan and the RoK.
