Have you ever tasted a lychee? It’s a sweet and juicy fruit that’s super popular in Asia! Recently, Vietnamese lychees have been making their way into markets all over the Chinese mainland, and people there can’t get enough of them!
Vietnam, a country in Southeast Asia, has the perfect weather to grow all kinds of delicious fruits. Thanks to growing trade between Vietnam and China, more of these tasty treats are reaching Chinese shoppers.
Over the past few years, China and Vietnam have become closer trading partners. This means they’ve agreed to buy and sell more things from each other. For fruit lovers, this is awesome news! Vietnamese lychees are now found in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai and even online.
Did you know? In just one month, over 6,600 tons of Vietnamese lychees were brought into China through Hekou port in Yunnan Province! That’s like the weight of over 1,000 elephants! 🐘
Hekou port is a busy place where goods travel between Vietnam and China. It’s super important for making sure fresh fruits get to stores quickly before they spoil. To help with this, customs officials work hard to speed things up during the fruit seasons.
As China and Vietnam continue to work together, we can expect to see even more yummy fruits in stores. So next time you spot a lychee, give it a try and taste the sweetness that’s bringing two countries closer! 😋
