According to statistics from the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Hai Phong City, the city's lychee production is expected to be approximately 55,000 tons this year, a decrease of nearly 10,000 tons from last year. Due to unfavorable weather conditions during the flowering period, the flowering rate was low, but the fruit set rate was high, so the yield is still acceptable. This year, the flowering rate for early-ripening lychees in Hai Phong City reached 75%, and the flowering rate for late-ripening lychees is approximately 60%. Early-ripening lychees are expected to be harvested between May 10 and 15, and the main production season lychees will be harvested by around June 5. Hai Phong City currently has 9,350 hectares of lychee orchards, with early-ripening lychees accounting for approximately 3,300 hectares, concentrated in Hedong Township, Qinghe Township, and Ningjiang Township; the remaining areas grow late-ripening lychees, distributed in Qinghe County, Hebei County, Ruanli County, Chen Renzong County, and Chen Xingdao County. In 2025, Haiyang Province and Hai Phong City will merge to form Hai Phong City, which will be the largest lychee production area in northern Vietnam. In 2025, 40% of Vietnam's lychee production will be exported, with 90% of that going to the Chinese market. Hai Phong City has nearly 200 export-oriented lychee planting areas and 16 processing and packaging factories that meet export standards.
