More than three tons of lychees from the northern Bac Giang province have arrived in Germany via the e-commerce platform Voso, said the E-Commerce and Digital Economy Agency under the Vietnamese Ministry of Industry and Trade.

The agency said that it was the first time that Vietnamese agricultural products had been shipped to Europe through the “cross-border e-commerce” model on an e-commerce platform developed and operated by Vietnam.

Sponsored by Viettel Post, Voso launched its Voso Global last March. Voso Global is where consumers in foreign markets, especially Vietnamese expats can find high-quality Vietnamese farm produces.

Bac Giang lychees exported to German are GlobalGAP-qualified ones which meet requirements on the phytosanitary and control in Vietnam and Europe. Besides, the fruits are labeled with traceability stamps.

Voso has taken advantage of Viettel Post's smart logistics system to deliver high-quality lychees to German customers.
