Around 20,000 tonnes are expected to be sold in the domestic market, while the rest will be exported to China, the US, Japan, the EU, and other high-value markets.

Representatives from Vietnam’s overseas trade offices and foreign partners noted growing demand for Thanh Ha lychees, particularly in markets like the US and Japan.

However, they emphasised the importance of complying with import standards, improving packaging and post-harvest processes, and promoting the brand through targeted communication campaigns.

Exporters and local cooperatives signed agreements at the event to ensure stable supply and quality. Provincial leaders reiterated their commitment to supporting businesses and expanding the global reach of Hai Duong’s agricultural products.
