Hung Yen province in northern Vietnam has approximately 5,800 ha of longan cultivation, according to a report from the Provincial People's Committee presented at the "2025 Conference for Promoting Hung Yen Longan and Agricultural Products" held on August 20.

Notably, thanks to favorable weather conditions, this year's yield is expected to increase by about 15% compared to last year, reaching over 50,000 tons of fruit, according to a report from the Government News.

A key highlight is that the province's over 60% of the output is VietGAP and organic certified, meeting the stringent requirements of high-end markets such as the US, EU, and Japan, while also maintaining exports to China—a major consumer market.

Hung Yen's lồng longan variety has been granted a Geographical Indication (GI) and is ranked among the Top 50 famous fruits in Vietnam.

One of the focal points of the promotion conference was the signing  of cooperation agreements on the consumption of Hung Yen's longan and agricultural products. The conference connected cooperatives and farmers with distribution and processing businesses, as well as e-commerce platforms. These agreements are expected to create a sustainable supply chain, ensuring stable outlets and enhancing product value.

Mr. Bui Quang Hung, Deputy Director of the Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, suggested that the province should continue to build and promote its brand more aggressively; and standardize production according to VietGAP, GlobalGAP, and organic standards.

He also stressed the need to diversify products through deep processing, rather than just selling fresh fruit, and to improve logistics and e-commerce connections to expand export markets.
