The Trade Promotion Conference with the Vietnam Trade Office system abroad in May 2023 discussed the trade promotion of litchi and longan products. Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Do Thang Hai stated that fresh litchi products are exported to 30 markets, including China, EU, Japan, Korea, but face difficulties in exporting to the US due to lack of irradiation centers. The Vietnam Trade Office Branch in Houston and Texas proposed solutions to reduce transportation costs and increase the competitiveness of Vietnamese litchi in the US market. The Director of the Trade Promotion Department proposed investing in irradiation centers in the Northern region to compete in the US market.
