Vietnamese lychees hit shelves in Belgium
“Thieu” lychees from Vietnam have hit the shelves of Carrefour Tongre supermarkets in Brussels, Belgium, since June 23 thanks to efforts of the Vinamex company and partners in bringing the Vietnamese specialty fruit to Europe to utilise the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA).
About 100kg of Vietnamese lychees will be sold in five Carrefour Tongre supermarkets at the price of 25 EUR (nearly 30 USD) per kilo.
The EVFTA has paved the way for Vietnamese farm produce to enter EU markets. Besides Belgium, Vietnamese lychee has so far reached many European countries such as the Netherlands, France, and the Czech Republic./.
