Promoting technical application

In 2025, Tan Yen district cultivate 1,250 hectares of early-harvest lychees with an estimated yield of 15,000 tonnes, up 2,000 tonnes from last year. Determining that quality is the decisive factor, the district has guided farmers in applying advanced cultivation techniques since the start of the season.

In coordination with relevant departments and experts, the district has organized training sessions on plant care and pest control, particularly in major lychee-growing communes like Phuc Hoa, Hop Duc and Lien Chung. Technologies such as drip irrigation and canopy pruning have been widely adopted to reduce costs and pesticide residues.

Vy Van Bao of Phuc Le hamlet (Phuc Hoa commune), who cultivates 1.5 hectares of GlobalGAP-certified lychees with growing are codes for exporting to the U.S. and EU markets, said: “The trees are growing well and the fruits meet export standards. District agricultural officials regularly visit our orchards to provide technical guidance and monitor production. We feel confident following the process to improve fruit quality.”

Scientific cultivation methods and clean production standards have improved yield and fruit uniformity, enhancing competitiveness in premium markets.

This year, 560 hectares are produced under VietGAP and GlobalGAP standards, with over 200 growing area codes for export—15 more than in 2024—serving markets including the U.S., Japan, the EU, China and Thailand.

Linking production with the market

In addition to production efforts, Tan Yen is focusing on trade promotion to ensure successful harvest seasons. In the first half of 2025, district delegations attended major international agricultural fairs in China, Singapore and Thailand, showcasing Tan Yen lychees’ superior quality and appearance.

For the first time, the district is using block chain technology for traceability, with over 500 hectares tagged with QR codes providing consumers with detailed information on growing areas, harvest dates, and producers. This move aims to strengthen product transparency and global supply chain integration.

The annual lychee trade promotion conference is expected at the end of May, drawing participation from major distributors, processors, supermarkets and e-commerce platforms like Lazada, Sendo, and Tiki.

The district is also working with provincial departments to expand digital sales via platforms such as Postmart, Voso, Alibaba and Amazon. Notably, livestream selling on TikTok Shop is being piloted to tap into emerging e-commerce trends.

So far, five enterprises have signed contracts to export over 200 tonnes of lychees to Japan, a market known for strict quality and safety standards. Domestically, Tan Yen lychees remain popular in major cities including Hanoi, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City, with large retail chains such as WinMart, Big C, MM Mega Market and AEON committing to purchase over 5,000 tonnes this season.

“Early lychee is not just a key agricultural product—it is also a regional brand that helps promote Tan Yen’s image at home and abroad,” said Ngo Quoc Hung, chairman of Tan Yen District People’s Committee.

“The district is committed to supporting farmers and businesses throughout the production and distribution process to build a high-quality lychee area with strong international competitiveness,” he said.

Tan Yen’s focus on quality improvement, market expansion, and technology adoption is laying the foundation for sustainable agricultural development and increased farmer incomes, while enhancing the province’s agricultural presence globally.
