Somkiat Wongsakulchai, chief executive of Ekthai, which distributes Vietnamese lychees in Thailand, spoke highly of the fruit’s quality.
“Vietnamese lychees have beautiful color, small seeds, succulent pulp, and are fragrant and sweet. This is the first time we sell Vietnamese lychees at seven stores in Bangkok under The Mall Group and will expand to all branches next year. We plan to import 1,000 tons of Vietnamese lychee next year,” said Somkiat Wongsakulchai.
