This year, the price of litchi imported to Australia is lower than last year due to decrease in transport fees to Vietnam’s southern region for irradiation. The litchi shipment was also carried by air.

Although Vietnamese litchi must compete with the Chinese fruit, often shipped by sea with much lower price, the fruit of the tropical country continued to be received in Australia due to better quality.

Recently, on the occasion of the visit to Australia, Director of the Hai Duong provincial Department of Industry and Trade Nguyen Trong Tue has coordinated with the Vietnamese Commercial Affairs office in Australia to survey the Melbourne litchi market with the expectation that Bac Giang and Thanh Ha litchi, two popular fruit trademarks of Hai Duong, will soon appear in the market./.
