Thieu lychee, a unique fruit of the northern province of Bac Giang, is expected to record 5.5 trillion VND (240.28 million USD) in value this year if it can retain its current price until the end of the fruit season.
Vietnam gained strong growth in lychee exports and the number of enterprises exporting lychee this year against the figures of last year, according to the General Department of Customs.
Thanh Ha district of northern Hai Duong province is taking steps to conserve and utilise the genetic resource of an almost-200-year-old lychee tree believed to be the origin of the local lychee specialty.
Deputy Prime Minister Vuong Dinh Hue has stressed the importance of quality management and traceability for lychee, a speciality fruit of the northern province of Bac Giang, to meet export requirements for China and other potential markets.
