FORECAST OF BUMPER LYCHEE SEASON IN VIETNAM THIS YEAR

Bắc Giang – The Lychee Kingdom

Bắc Giang stands as the heart of the Litchi Season in Vietnam, earning its title as the lychee kingdom. Spanning roughly 29,700 hectares, the province’s lychee orchards, particularly those producing Luc Ngan Lychee, are renowned for their quality. A large portion of this land adheres to VietGAP and GlobalGAP certifications, ensuring that lychees meet international standards for safety and quality. These certifications have strengthened Bắc Giang’s position in the global market, with exports reaching China, Japan, Australia, and the European Union during the Litchi Season. The province has built an efficient distribution network, supported by modern logistics, to deliver fresh lychees worldwide. Additionally, Bắc Giang has innovated with lychee-based products, such as lychee wine, dried lychee, and lychee-infused sweets, which enhance the value of the Litchi Fruit season. These products provide farmers with diverse revenue streams, making the Litchi Season a cornerstone of the local economy.

Forecasting the Output of Lychee

The 2025 Litchi Season is set to be a landmark year for Vietnam’s lychee industry, with Bắc Giang leading the charge. Favorable weather has resulted in an exceptional flowering rate, with lychee trees blooming vibrantly across the region. The fruiting rate has been equally impressive, surpassing 80%, a strong indicator of a bountiful harvest. Experts predict a total output of over 165,000 tons of lychee during the Litchi Season, a significant increase from last year’s 100,000 tons, which was impacted by adverse conditions. This bumper crop is expected to generate approximately 6,500 billion VND (about $270 million USD) in revenue, highlighting the economic importance of the Lychee season in Vietnam. Farmers are preparing for the Litchi Season with optimism, supported by local authorities who are facilitating efficient harvesting and market access to maximize the season’s potential.
