The information was stated by the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency this morning.

This is the first batch of Thanh Ha lychee shipped to France via the aviation route. 

After tasting the fresh lychees, many consumers are interested in the delicious and the sweet naturally in lychees and some people bought up to five kilograms of lychee.  

With the great consumption, French importers decided to import the second batch with one ton of lychees to serve the market via aviation route.

To continue to promote the marketing and consumption of Vietnamese lychees, the Vietnam Trade Office in France and the Vietnamese Embassy in France will set up a booth showcasing Vietnamese lychees at the Vietnam Food Festival 2021 in Paris on the upcoming June 19.
