Hanoi (VNA) – Two tonnes 𓆉oᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚf Hung Yen longan have just been transported to Ho Chi Minh City to undergo irradiation before being shipped to the US.
The VietGap-met longan was grown in nearly 20 hectares in Ham Tu commune in Khoai Chau district and Hong Nam commune in Hung Yen city, of northern Hung Yen province.
Hong Nam commune grows longan trees on over 170 hectares, producing an annual average of 2,000 tonnes of fruit.
Hung Yen has 3,000 hectares of longan trees, yielding 35,000-40,000 tonnes per year, mostly in Khoai Chau, Hung Yen city, and Kim Dong district.
As many as 175 households, owning 20 hectares of longan trees have been granted the codes to export their products to the US.
They are required to strictly follow Vietnamese Good Agriculture Practice (VietGap) standards like using only permitted bio-pesticides.
The US Department of Agriculture approved the import of fresh lychee and longan from Vietnam in 2013.
The fruits will be subject to a system that includes treatment and inspection requirements and restrictions on distribution.
As a pre-condition for entry, the fruits must be grown in orchards registered with and monitored by the National Plant Protection Organisation of Vietnam to ensure they are disease-free.

Deputy Director General of the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT)’s Trade Promotion Agency Bui Quang Hung emphasised that logistics has evolved from a technical function into a core capability for Vietnamese exporters to maintain their competitive advantage in the US market.
A trade official has suggested companies work closely with shipping lines, airlines, and freight forwarders to monitor routes, transit times, and potential surcharges while exploring broader cargo insurance to cover risks like war and terrorism.
In addition to institutional reform, the agency is also rolling out key solution groups to combat counterfeit goods, imitations, and intellectual property infringements in the digital environment.
The event, co-organised by the Vietnam Trade Office in the UK and TT Meridian, a local importer of Vietnamese fresh produce, aims to build a national lychee brand and encourage broader recognition of Vietnamese fruits in a competitive, high-end market.
The industry's performance has been powered by bold investments in modern production lines, enabling Vietnamese firms to produce complicated products which were exclusive to advanced economies.
