Mai Son longans to be destined to foreign markets

Situated in the northern province of Son La, Mai Son district is expected to export approximately 2,600 tonnes of longan over the course of the year to several foreign markets such as the US, China, France, Poland, and Malaysia.

Mai Son is one of the localities that has the largest longan cultivation area throughout Son La province at over 2,500 hectares and enjoys an estimated output of 15,000 tonnes. This year’s harvest season is expected to see the district’s longan output that meets export standards reach roughly 5,200 tonnes.

Mai Son district is therefore predicted to export some 2,600 tonnes of longan to markets such as the US, China, Cambodia, and Japan, in addition to emerging markets, including the United Arab Emirates, the Republic of Korea, France, Poland, and Malaysia.

Relevant agencies have instructed local farmers to apply the use of advanced technologies in production whilst strictly implementing the production process in line with VietGAP and GlobalGAP standards.
