Bac Giang ships 56 tons of fresh lychees to China by rail

The northern province of Bac Giang organized a ceremony on June 15 to mark the first shipment of 56 tons of Luc Ngan fresh lychees to China from Kep railway station.

If rail transport proves effective, it will create favorable conditions for the exports of goods from Bac Giang and other provinces in northern Vietnam in general by saving time and cost. More importantly, it will help reduce pressure on transportation and export activities via border gates.

The international railway system will connect with most major seaports in the region, China and countries in Southeast, Central, South and West Asia and the Middle East in the future, thus facilitating the access of Luc Ngan lychees to the markets in China and other countries.

Luc Ngan lychees have been exported to nearly 40 countries and territories across the world. Luc Ngan district boasts favorable climate and soil conditions for the cultivation of various fruits. Currently, it is home to some 16,000ha of Thieu lychee plantations./.
