Deputy Head of the Department of Domestic Market under the Ministry of Industry and Trade Hoang, Anh Tuan, said that the lychee week in Hanoi is a practical activity to introduce and promote high-quality Luc Ngan-Bac Giang lychees to the people of Hanoi.

Tuan noted that lychees are now available in nearly all provinces and cities across the country.

Luc Ngan-Bac Giang Lychee Week, which will run until June 20, will offer Hanoian customers top quality lychees from Bac Giang, said Tran Quang Tuan, Director of Bac Giang provincial Department of Industry and Trade.

Tuan added that this year's event is held earlier than previous years as the province wishes to hasten the connection with enterprises from the beginning of the harvest to boost the consumption and export of the fruit to Southeast Asia countries, particularly to Thailand, through the chain of BigC supermarkets.

For the first time, BigC supermarkets will offer customers eight types of food and drink made from lychees, such as lychee tea, lychee jelly, lychee juices, fried lychees, lychee doughnuts, among others, said Executive Vice President of Public Relations and Corporate Social Responsibility Department at Big C Vietnam, Le Thi Mai Linh.

In particular, Big C Vietnam is scheduled to export the first shipments of lychees to Thailand in the next two days with triple the volume of 2017, Linh added.

The effectiveness of professional models of association and group in Tan Lac district

The lives of the ethnic minority farmers in Tan Lac district have gradually improved thanks to the new directions in agricultural production. This is a testament to the collective strength fostered through the professional associations and groups implemented by various levels of the district’s Farmers’ Union.

Building the brand of Muong village clean food

With the motto the "product quality comes first,” after nearly one year of establishment and operation, Muong village’s Clean Food Agricultural and Commercial Cooperative, located in Cau Hamlet, Hung Son Commune (Kim Boi district), has launched reputable, high-quality agricultural products to the market that are well-received by consumers. The products such as Muong village’s pork sausage, salt-cured chicken, and salt-cured pork hocks have gradually carved out a place in the market and they are on the path to obtaining the OCOP certification.

Hoa Binh ethnic farmers join forces through collective economic models

In the past, the phrase "bumper harvest, rock-bottom prices" was a familiar refrain for Vietnamese farmers engaged in fragmented, small-scale agriculture. But today, a new spirit is emerging across rural areas of Hoa Binh province - one of collaboration, organisation, and collective economic models that provide a stable foundation for production.

Maintaining farming area codes: Key to bringing Hoa Binh farm produce to global market

Maintaining growing area codes and packing facility codes in accordance with regulations is a mandatory requirement for agricultural products to be eligible for export. Recently, the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Hoa Binh province has intensified technical supervision of designated farming areas and packing facilities to safeguard the "green passport" that enables its products to access international markets.
