Thanh Ha lychees from northern Hai Duong province are put on sale at Australia’s Market Place supermarket, the Voice of Vietnam (VOV) has reported.

The lychees are sold at VND594,000 ($23.4) per kg.

This is the first batch of nearly 1 tons of Thanh Ha lychees shipped to Australia by the Red Dragon Service Trading Manufacture Co., Ltd, by air on May 14.

Mai Xuan Thin, director of the company, said the firm had purchased lychees from a number of farms in Thanh Ha district’s growing areas that have met VietGAP and GlobalGAP standards.

The company plans to purchase between 10-15 tons of lychees each day for export.
