Speaking at the event, Deputy Chairman of the
Hung Yen People’s Committee Nguyen Minh Quang said this year’s festival is
of a larger scale compared to that of last year and creates a chance for
consumers to have more accurate information about longan originating from
the province, believed to be the cradle of the fruit in Vietnam.
Director of the provincial Department of
Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Van Doanh said many cooperatives
and production teams cultivating longan on a large scale have been
established in Khoai Chau, Kim Dong and Tien Lu district and Hung Yen city,
forming a specialized cultivation area.
The trees are cultivated in a way to ensure
the food safety and origin traceability so as to maintain the fame and
prestige among consumers.
As for the sale of longan, Director of the
provincial Department of Industry and Trade Nguyen Van Tho said the
department has held many trade promotion activities to popularize the
product among the localities inside the country.
Besides, the department has also invited businessmen from China and Republic of Korea to the province to sign contracts. So far, nearly 100 contracts have been signed for nearly 3,000 tonnes of longan to be sold at supermarkets like Big C, Hapro, Sai Gon and Fivimart. Importers from the US, China, Japan and the Republic of Korea have also agreed to buy the fruit.
