According to the Division of Agriculture and Rural Development of Thanh Ha district, Red Dragon Co., Ltd. in Ho Chi Minh city on May 10 purchased seven quintals of u trung trang lychees from some households in Vinh Lap commune.

The enterprise bought the lychees for 80,000 VND/kg. All of them will be taken to Ho Chi Minh city for preliminary processing in a fumigation chamber to ensure export conditions.

As planned, on May 12, the lychees will be exported to the US by air. This will be the first batch of Thanh Ha thieu lychees to be exported to the US this year.

U trung trang lychees are planted in Vinh Lap and Thanh Cuong communes. Because of the weather, this year's yield of this type of lychee is low.

These are the first lychees to be harvested with high economic value. On the first day of harvest (May 6), they cost nearly 200,000 VND/kg.

All early and main-crop lychees in Thanh ha are cultivated following VietGAP standard.
