Tran Van Dinh, a resident of Lan Thinh village in Phuc Hoa commune, Bac Ninh province, wakes up at 3 a.m. to prepare for the lychee harvest. His family owns about 0.5 hectares of hillside lychee trees, and their orchard recently won a consolation prize in the commune’s “Beautiful Lychee Garden” contest. However, this year’s output has fallen sharply compared with last year despite favourable prices and stronger consumption.

According to Dinh, this year’s lychees have maintained high quality, with sweet fruit and an attractive appearance. With technical support and training from localities, growers have increasingly focused on safe cultivation practices, improving quality and building the Phuc Hoa lychee brand.

Nguyen Thi Ha, a resident of Quoc Du 2 village in Phuc Hoa commune, Bac Ninh province, says her family owns about 0.5 hectares of lychee trees, but this year’s output is only about half of previous harvests. This year’s crop required intensive care from flowering to fruiting, while growers who failed to invest in proper care saw their harvests nearly wiped out,  Ha explains.

During the harvest season, her family hires additional workers to keep up with export orders for foreign companies. For years, the family has worked with export firms under linked production arrangements, helping their lychees meet high quality standards.

Seasonal growers are also entering the peak lychee harvest season. According to Truong Minh Thang, from Tan Yen commune in Bac Ninh province, lychee picking often starts at around 3 a.m. and continues until 9 or 10 a.m. under intense heat. Wages currently range from VND70,000-80,000 per hour, but rising living costs continue to put pressure on farmers’ livelihoods.

Despite the hardship, Thang still feels proud and happy to see lychees from his hometown gaining wider recognition, being exported to more countries and welcomed by overseas consumers.

The activities have attracted hundreds of tour groups and more than 10,000 visitors to local lychee orchards.

Based on this year’s lychee season, local leaders are pursuing a range of measures to develop the Phuc Hoa early-ripening lychee brand in a more sustainable direction. The measures include improving product quality from the cultivation stage through the application of VietGAP and GlobalGAP standards, the use of organic fertilisers and biological plant protection products, and ensuring clear product traceability.
