Vietnam’s renowned lychees are becoming a hit in China as trade between the two countries continues to grow. Known for their juicy texture and sweet flavor, these tropical fruits are winning over Chinese consumers in major cities and online marketplaces.
With its favorable climate, Vietnam produces a rich variety of fruits, and lychees are among the most prized. In recent years, enhanced trade agreements have opened up China’s vast market to Vietnamese agricultural products. Vietnamese lychees are now widely available in cities like Beijing and Shanghai, as well as on e-commerce platforms.
During the summer months, trucks loaded with freshly harvested lychees make their way through the Hekou port in southwest China’s Yunnan Province. This port, situated on the Honghe River, plays a crucial role in facilitating cross-border trade. In recent months, thousands of tons of Vietnamese lychees have passed through Hekou, bringing this tropical delicacy to fruit markets across China and boosting economic activity at the port.
Customs authorities at Hekou port have implemented expedited clearance measures to ensure that perishable goods like lychees reach consumers quickly. With well-developed transportation links and streamlined policies, the port has become an important gateway for both trade and travel between Vietnam and China.
The deepening trade ties not only benefit the economies of both countries but also bring a wider variety of produce to consumers. As lychees continue to sweeten Chinese markets, the future looks bright for agricultural cooperation between Vietnam and China.
