Speaking at the event, Nguyen Hung Nam, Vice Chairman of Hung Yen provincial People's Committee said that the litchi fair is part of activities to promote the province’s agricultural products in 2023.

Many local cooperative groups and litchi growers were granted production area codes for export to the US and Japanese markets.

According to local gardeners, this season's litchi crop has good quality. A kilo of litchi is sold at 40,000-50,000 VND (1.7-2.1 USD) while the price of egg-shaped litchi is as high as 160,000-180,000 VND per kg./.
