According to the head of the Vietnamese Trade Office in Australia Nguyen Phu Hoa, Vietnam is now shipping its first two batches of fresh lychees to Australia. A 26-tonne batch is about to reach the country while a 14-tonne batch is being loaded into containers.
Over the next few days, the two batches will become available in many Australian states. Local exporters said these are just the first batches to be exported early in 2020’s harvest. In the main crop, the volume of Vietnamese lychee exported to Australia will increase sharply. In order to introduce Vietnamese lychees in the country, the Vietnamese Trade Office has held various promotional activities, including large-scale events.
