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.
