The batch was imported by Kuala Lumpur-based Billyan Global Resources and
Vietnam’s Hanoi Trade Corporation (Hapro).
After seeing the high demand for the fruit, Billyan Global Resources has decided
to increase Vietnamese lychee imports for sale in Kuala Lumpur and nearby
states, such as Selangor.
In the near future, an additional 20 containers, each weighing nearly 10 tonnes,
will be delivered to Malaysia for consumption.
Back in 2015, imported Vietnamese lychees also became a popular sell in the city
of Klang.
Apart from Malaysia, Vietnamese lychees have also been present in several
demanding markets such as the US, Australia, Japan, and Europe.
Vietnamese Commercial Counsellor in Malaysia Pham Quoc Anh said the Vietnamese
Trade Office has partnered with authorities to bring Vietnamese lychees and
various other local goods – such as fruits and vegetables, seafood, and
processed foods – to Malaysia.
He advised Vietnamese enterprises to improve their product design, quality, and
delivery standards to increase their market share in Malaysia.
