These days, coming to Luc Ngan, also known as “the capital of lychee”, there are the bright smiles of farmers.

This year, those smiles are much more dazzling, because this was the first year Luc Ngan has lychee growing area that is quality enough to be exported to Japan.

Mrs. Tran Thi Huong is a owner of 3 ha of lychee trees in Nam Duong commune, Luc Ngan district. Although she has been growing lychee for more than 20 years, the cultivation according to Global Gap standards to achieve the quality that satisfies Japan still makes families like Mrs. Huong's family very confused.

The time, effort and money spent on the lychee have increased dramatically. Looking at the hills covered with green, dotted with the red and yellow shade of the lychee waiting for the harvest day, only a few people could imagine, before this area was completely deserted hills, bare mountains.

The richness and fertility of the present must be exchanged for a lot of sweat and effort from the past./.
