In 2025, the lychee cultivation area across the province remains stable at 29,700 hectares, including 8,000 hectares of early-ripening lychee and 21,700 hectares of main-season lychee. The expected output is 165,000 tonnes. The harvest period is from May 30 to July 30.

Bac Giang always values the traditional Chinese market, as it is a major consumer of local lychees. The province hopes that in this season, in addition to road transport, Bac Giang lychees will also be transported to China by rail, as the province now houses an international intermodal railway station.

The official said he hopes that after this meeting, members of the delegation will help promote and advertise more about Bac Giang’s land, people, and agricultural products, especially lychee, to a wider customer base in China. Through this, lychees can continue to be sold well in the Chinese market, bringing high income to farmers.

Speaking at the event, Huang said that many businesses from Chongzuo city have successfully invested in Bac Giang. He also affirmed that Bac Giang lychees have long been famous, with higher quality compared to those of the same type produced in other regions.
